There are 5 slides, don't miss them! I also apologize about the weird pie chart arrangement, Google Forms is weird. **Some thoughts of interest based on the results:** We got 90 responses to the survey! Not bad, but not wholly representative, of course. I asked both the reddit and discord. Women are significantly overrepresented on this sub. Based on the estimate that 1 in 4 stutterers are women, and the fact that 35% of reddit at maximum is women, we'd only expect 21.25% of the respondents to be women. Instead, we have 25.9%, indicating that women are 1.2x more common on this sub than expected. We have a very broad age range, with at least 5% in every age category listed. Despite the many questions about if stuttering will leave you single forever, 35% of respondents are in a relationship or married. While still significantly below the percentage of fluent adults that are in a relationship, it's certainly a very decent outlook. Only 10.7% of the respondents are fully unemployed, again supporting that there's still a decent outlook to be productive members of society. 60% of respondents were from north america, and about 60% speak english as their first language - pretty much what you'd expect. Political leanings are pretty balanced. Based on [this research by Pew](https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2016/02/25/reddit-news-users-more-likely-to-be-male-young-and-digital-in-their-news-preferences/), 43% of reddit is liberal, 39% is moderate, and 19% is conservative. Here, 37% is liberal, 48% is moderate, and 16% is conservative. It's interesting that this sub trends more moderate than the rest of reddit, given that it's a subreddit about a disability... Or is it? To me, it's obvious that stuttering is a disability, but the majority of users (64%) disagree with that assessment. I'll probably make an independent post about this. The subreddit tends to have moderate/severe stutterers, at 57%. This makes total sense to me, as people with mild stutterers are less likely to have it severely affect their life and go looking for a community to get support from. A lucky 6% are near fluent! Speech therapy and psychological therapy are both attended at about 30%, which is quite interesting to me. I'd expect speech therapy to be much higher, but the low improvement rate makes it not too surprising. 97% of respondents started stuttering when they were a child, or "for as long as they remembered/unknown". I expected that to be the majority but I am shocked at the staggering rate of child stutterers. Only a single person started stuttering over 18. Only 3 people said that their life is totally unaffected by their stutter, and 2 of those are likely the non-stutterers who responded to the survey. At least 50% of respondents said that they had issues speaking to new people, familiar people, people on the phone, or people in passing, dating, and giving presentations. A smaller, but still important, amount of people had issues finding employment, succeeding in school, or faced discrimation. Issues with self esteem were the second most common ailment that we face, at 74%, and 46% of us isolate, which are both tragic to me. The final chart is the one that I'm most surprised about. This subreddit kind of seems like a downer a lot of the time. There's a lot of despair here. However, 31% of respondents reported poor or very poor mental outlook, which is much lower than I expected. 33% of respondents reported a good or very good mental outlook, which I like to see - there's more happy than sad here! A very encouraging 10% of respondents reported an excellent mental outlook, which importantly, is higher than the percentage of near fluent stutterers, indicating that some active stutterers still have an excellent outlook. ​ I hope you enjoyed. I definitely missed a lot of good questions to ask, so I may make a part 2 or more fleshed out one at some point in the future. I appreciate everyone who took the survey and I'd love to know what y'all think!
