This guy sucks. And I hate that he demanded that you speak until you stuttered, like you had to put on a show for him. I've never had anybody be weirdly challenging to me like this but I've had people...

I was talking to someone a while ago. I rarely stutter now. I was telling them about some of the effects stuttering has had on my life. He somehow became convinced of the notion that I'd been gasligh...

What a jerk! I’ve been dismissed many times due to my stutter. Also, some people don’t believe I have a problem. They’re ignorant and think I’m making it up. They’re full of 💩....

Thank you for standing up. I think we all can relate to being accused of faking our stutter since it is so erratic. One moment, we can be fluent, and the very next, we start stumbling on every word....

I think it would remain "a big deal", even if we're 1%. As soon as we're different, being fat, short, too tall, ugly, having a disabily or being a stutterer, at some point it's always a big deal in ou...

I call complete BS on the 1% number, too, for various reasons. Just imagine if 1% of people actually stuttered. Then stuttering would be commonplace and not a big deal at all. Reality is that stutte...
