Don Juan With a Speach Delay (Tricky Task)

[jmeh13]

Ever Since I was 16 years old I decided i would change my life. I was a very good looking guy and never understood why i kept getting friend zoned. The needle on the hay stack was when a girl whom i thought i loved broke my heart. Since then i have read books dated tons of woman. I am now 21 years old and can confidently say that i get more girls then anyone i personally know. That is pretty good for being in the largest Fraternity at a D1 university. I am now in a very healthy relationship with a girl who i am probably going to marry someday.

With that being said I have a very difficult task ahead. I have a younger Brother who has just turned 16. He has a rare Disorder called "speach apraxia." He is now in High School and is in a few special needs classes for his speach delay.

My Mom came to me the other day and told me how much my little brother looks up to me. She told me that he is really having a tuff time in school. She tells me that he is having a hard time with girls. He really likes them a lot. To top it off she told me he had some little trail trash girlfriend who apparently broke up with him and is now making fun of him.

I knew this day would come but didnt want to think about it. It makes me sick to think that this little ugly girl is picking on my brother.

I have always said i wish i knew in high school... what I now know about woman.... Well here is my chance. He is a very good looking kid. already 6'1 as a freshman with blonde hair blue eyes. I am going to turn him into a Don Juan that i now how to be.

So he already has an advantage with the good looks and athletic but he has a speach delay. I am having some difficulties on how i can tackle this problem. He will be a ladies man... Quote me on that but, i need to figure out how he can pick up girls using minimal vocabulary.

if someone has had this challenge or has any advice please help!!!

Speech apraxia? I dont know what that is exactly. So he speaks slowly? Or does he have trouble finding the right word to say?

He knows how to talk, right?

Is this something that can be fixed with his special classes?


I use to have a speech inpedement, a speech therapist helped me out for a couple years in elementry school. As a result I speak just as well as anyone, but it just takes a bit longer to come up with the right words (like 4 or 5 seconds instead of most people who imediatly begin talking when they are addressed) and makes me have pauses in my conversations sometimes as I search for what I want to say exactly.
If I try to start talking without planning what I want to say then usually ill start tripping up with my words.

Its not really a big deal to me, accually I kinda like it. It causes people to think im very thoughtful and makes me sound alpha.

Is that similiar in any way?

apraxia

There are many different types of speech apraxia.

His is not to severe. When he speaks he is not slow with the his words its that he is unable to use many sounds.

for example ....ing and ...ch words is one of the many he struggles with.When he says speech it comes out more as speetz. If he slows down and thinks about it he can sometimes get it out.

My game plan is that in conversation he will have to adapt by only using one or few simple word responses. I think this technique will work well because he will seem almost like a ****y funny jerk.... and i know that the confident jerk thing works well

so does he usually stop and think before responding? or does he respond right away but stutter a bit? or does it come out all at once but with some mispronounciations?

if he's a funny guy..i'm sure he can use this to his advantage...i dont have any speech issues but i can't pronounce words that end with thers... like others brothers mothers...i make the utter sound and three or thirty...i make the fur sound...but girls think it's "cute"...as long as he doesn't look down after making a mistake or speaking...he just has to twist it around..and don't overdo it because people will jsut get annoyed
