My teacher let me drop a subject because I stutter So, I'm 16. Stuttered ever since I learned to speak. It went away as I got to ten/eleven, but when I moved schools it came back and it was bad. In my...

Lately, I have been. I have been reading out loud every day for about an hour every day. I've picked up a lot of things doing that and I have really slowed down my speech rate and I am starting to rea...

The company I work for has the word "State" in it, and the transition from anything st- always always causes me to block. I've been pronouncing it more like "Sate" and no one ever notices. Perhaps cha...

I used to block a lot and then I tried changing my stutter to where if I feel a block I will just drag out a sound or repeat sounds and words. So far so good, I have blocked almost not at all and this...

This is exactly my fiance and I. Most of the time I'll stutter when saying my name. So with restaurants or if we're meeting new people she'll say my name. I think sometimes it enables, but she is just...

It is just really annoying to me! I thought I was done stuttering, and had "grown" out of it. But then it started back again. I also became self conscious around that time. I'd change words, wouldn'...

At first I was frustrated that I couldn't get the words quick enough, but I started paying less attention to my stuttering and focus on the project. That helped me a lot and as the time went by I star...

Impulsivity

Impulsivity As someone whose gone through loads of speech therapy, I feel that my impulsivity has suffered - I now often think about what I'm going to say and also how I'm going to say it. This gets r...

agreed. This looks more for people who have regular social interaction, or maybe where interacting with other people is a part of their job, to sort of take a break. For those that struggle with it, i...

Is this what we really need? A place that enables our fear of ordering into a perennial source of fear? It shouldn't come as a relief for stutterers, more like a warning sign to not succumb to such s...

My SO usually orders at restaurants when we go out. She puts her name down at the wait list. She used to help fill in the blanks a lot. But I talked to her about it some time back. I told her that it'...
