I'm starting to have slight issues with stumbling in speech (problems pronouncing words that I know how to pronounce/mixing up words). It seems to be stress/fatigue triggered, but I don't realize it's MS related until well after it happens.
I give formal presentations and classes as part of my job and am probably 20-30 years younger than the "average" professional in the field. The speech issues were showing up during last night's presentation. While slowing my speech down significantly helped, it was definitely challenging to maintain my "professional" appearance.
Clients already think I'm too young to do this job. How do I handle this, so that they don't think I'm clueless as well?
