That's kind of interesting. My kindergarten teacher did the same thing to me. I have always wondered if that was one of my root causes. I've never heard anyone else voice that theory other than myse...

As a kid, I was definitely picked on at the bus stop and on the bus. Not so much at school. I guess gradually attaining the reputation of "the smart kid" helped me not get as much attention for it. In...

I might not do it right then and there... but I usually try to lighten the mood and making a quick yet subtle joke about my own stuttering (not a hardcore joke, just a playful one). That usually helps...

Can changing back to my dominant hand fix my stuttering?

Can changing back to my dominant hand fix my stuttering? I developed a stutter around the time my mom forced me to change writing hands (from left to right around 5-6 years old). My doctor said this m...

Having a large vocabulary so I can interchange words with ones that I won't stutter on. All depends though. Sometimes I'll say "different" just fine, others I may have to switch it to a word like var...
