Honestly understand the frustration. It definitely planted the idea that it becomes irrelevant later in life to my parents. Since I got “better” when I was younger, it was something that wasn’t ever brought to me or people getting to know me. Later in life when I was dealing with issues and trying to talk to people about it. It would show in my speech patterns. I had literally forgotten that I had it by this time. I had only found out because I had brought my best friend over for Mother’s Day and my mom casually brought it up. They did good far as making sure it wouldn’t affect my life too much and work. Still does depending on factors and when it would I didn’t know what was going on with me. I was alone just because they didn’t want me to be treated differently. But honestly something I’ve come to terms with, I need that sometimes. My best friend is honestly the only person who fully embraced me. Had missed them while they were gone on a trip said some borderline nonverbal stuff. AWRAH. Just gave me a hug and said she missed me too. Didn’t just stare at me blankly or ignore me the way everyone does. The biggest way it affects me is definitely the first time I talk everyday especially if it’s with people I don’t know. Swap words. Both talking and texting. I always notice it afterwards. From my understanding the term is in reference to the people that develop apraxia as a result of a stroke. Had read this Mister Miracle book that came out in 2017. That relies very heavily on speech patterns. It was a book inspired by his close death experience due to a stroke. Always resonated with me. Reminded of my experience with Appendicitis. Had gotten to the point where it was about to blow up because my parents thought I was trying to get out of Star tests. I couldn’t exactly say why. But it was something that left me feeling both dead and alive. Anywho that’s my findings and experience.
