I would say I have a disability, but am not disabled. Stuttering doesn't define me but is a small part of who I am. I wouldn't collect government disability, that'd be ridiculous unless it was really ...

Yeah, I've met lots of people who laughed out loud or said "forgot your name?" while I was in the middle of stuttering, but 95% of the time, it's out of surprise or they think I'm joking around. Then ...

Honestly, I care a lot more about how the bartender makes my drink than how fluent of a conversationalist they are. ...

I'm currently in medical school, hoping to become a psychiatrist or pediatrician. Frankly, being in medical school with a stutter is extremely tough, but I've always told myself that I wouldn't let my...

I'm another stutterer who was in "gifted and talented" programs as a kid due to my IQ. The only other stutterers I've met have been neurologists (two of them) and a math professor, but that's probably...

Currently in NY and looking to move shortly after getting married in August (hoping I can get through the vows without a stutter)... who knows, maybe we'll end up across the pond?...

Yes. I find that doing work and study in my own time instead of in class is much easier as I don't have another thing to think about....

Been there, done that, feel you. I used to only order things I could say, only date girls whole names I could say, the whole nine. Never let your stutter control you, tho. Yea it didn't go your way...

I've met over a hundred people who stutter, and anecditally this doesn't ring true for me. I know a lot of smart stutterers, but then I know a lot of real idiots too. ...

Whoa, that's outrageously shitty....

A decent person wouldn't belittle a disability by calling it endearing or cute....

I disagree, not everyone know hot to react to a stutter and may think they're being disarming saying something like forgot your name hahaaha. But if they're outright mocking you they're a cunt obvious...
