Stuttering

The hardest part about this simulation for me was keeping a straight face through it and not laughing.  I am obviously not cut out for acting.  In my encounters, I said "uh" a lot and repeated words.  I asked someone for help and I felt like they were about to laugh too.  I asked for help finding something in a store and it seemed like the person helping me thought I was a little dumb.  In the situations, it seemed like the person was almost dumbing the instructions down, like they would for a little kid.  I think with impairments like stutters, we need to remember that these people are totally normal and that speaking is just a little slower, not that we need to dumb down what we say.
