Como adulto, tartamudear puede conducir a una variedad de respuestas emocionales, cambios de conducta, y sentimientos de angustia y ansiedad. En última instancia, tartamudear puede impedirle hacer lo que quiera en la vida. Puede ser difícil ser abierto y abordar sus experiencias negativas.
En los últimos años se ha hablado más del modelo social de tartamudeo. El movimiento del Orgullo Tartamudo abraza la idea de que cada uno es diferente y que tartamudear es sólo otra forma viable de comunicarse. Esto pone más énfasis en el papel del oyente, y de la sociedad, para aceptar el tartamudeo como parte de una imagen más amplia de la neurodiversidad y la diferencia.
Cualquiera que sea su perspectiva, no siempre es fácil encontrar la ayuda y la orientación adecuadas. Hacer un cambio, ya sea ser más abierto, buscar terapia, o manejar los pensamientos y sentimientos que ocurren, puede ser un primer paso útil pero difícil.
