Woman “Basically Mute” Until 17 Has Overcome Stammer by Ordering at DRIVE-THRUS

Real Fix

Credit: SWNS / Georgia Scott  A TikToker teased so badly for having a stammer that she was 'basically mute' until the age of 17 has grown in confidence - by filming herself ordering at drive-thrus.  Brave Georgia Scott, 25, was diagnosed with a stammer when she was just five and doesn't remember a time when she didn't have it.  She would always feel anxious about ordering in restaurants, so she used to order on touch screens in fast food chains to avoid the situation.   But she's recently started posting videos of her ordering food and drink at places such as Starbucks, McDonalds and Costa to help her gain confidence.  Now she says her stammer has improved from just filming the videos - and is helping to inspire others.
