Well, don't use simplistic - or should we say, _wrong_ - descriptions to explain something. Settle with saying things that make sense. Also, 'stamurai' has been heavily marketed on this subreddit. Th...

I don't agree with how stuttering or any disability affects your world views, not for me. As far as I'm concerned, maybe it's an unpopular opinion but I don't think something like stuttering *should*...

"Just practice" is at odds with what we know about stutter. So, it's not just that you're not "good enough at speaking" - it's quite specifically that you *have a stutter*, which makes you speak in a ...

I also wouldn’t consider it ableism. I just want stuttering to be more of a universally recognized disability (like Alzheimer’s) and for people to be genuinely aware/educated of how much hardship our ...

Yeah, ignorance is really a problem. I see a lot of people trying to equate stuttering once a week because they talk too fast, or stuttering when they’re a little nervous to read in front of class to ...

" I hated how I felt, besides I’d always end up talking about my life problems rather than focusing on my stutter." So you are saying they are separate things? That's not what many of the more recent...

When you conflate the matters, it's hard to see what you're asking about. :) - The _causes_ of stuttering are unclear. We're aware of various factors, but there's lots of variance. I haven't heard o...
