Im wondering if i need to take DS2 to see someody in regards to his speech.

He has always stutterd a bit only on the first sounds in words, it often seems as if his brain is ahead of his mouth.

Latley though he has been trying to stop the stuttering by elongation the first sounds of words for instance.

What would once be Ma ma ma mario (Mario)
is now Mahhhhaaaaario...

Although he is stutterina bit still.
He is 3.8yrs. Is this normal, or do i need to take him to see someone?

DS did have SALT but didn't have a stutter, so this is just an amateur opinion: I would get him assessed. Probably nothing to worry about, but worth seeking prof. advice about how to help him get over it.
