Should've stood up for us today. I was lamenting about going to the dentist today with a co-worker and she brought up a previous dentist; how unprofessional he was. Then she added that he had a stammer and how awful that was for her to have to ensure that. We've worked together for over 6 years so she *has* to have heard me stutter (I'm have a moderate stutter, not severe). And she has a brother with *down syndrome* so you'd think she'd be more sensitive to any sort of disability. Lord knows the trouble I'd be in if I called something retarded. But I didn't say anything. I just nodded my head a bit reluctantly. So I feel pretty crummy now. I should've stood up for us and I'm sorry. A few months ago I put a colleague in his place when I was presenting in a meeting and he told me to "spit it out." It was really hard to do but I'm glad I did it. He won't make eye contact with me now LOL. When have you stood up for yourself against someone making fun of you or another stutterer? Is it hard for you?
