What are your thoughts on how stuttering is portrayed in TV shows and films, and how it's perceived by the general public? I'm just wondering if anyone thinks we've made any progress. Can anyone think of any good/bad recent examples of how stuttering is portrayed? How do you think it's viewed by most people? An example that comes to mind for me is Tara in Buffy (not that recent, but still). While in general the actress did a good job portraying a stutter, something that irritated me was that the writers *only* had her stutter when she was nervous -- thus perpetuating the idea that stutterers are nervous people and if you just calm down you won't stutter. Yes, stuttering can certainly get worse when you're nervous, but I'd have loved to see her block at a few random moments that had nothing to do with how relaxed she was. Maybe even to see that in some cases, her anxiety kicked in once she realized she was having a hard time speaking. Thoughts? How do you think most people view us?
