i know i just posted but this seemed a bit off topic in relation to that post. it is not taboo to talk to him (or anyone else) about stuttering as long as you are generally interested in the topic. ...

>I just ignore it and pretend I never noticed you sir/madam are an angel. this is the correct response. that being said, the issue between him and yall's boss is a problem but its his problem. ...

Thanks for your input. If you don't mind me asking, are you a 'covert' or 'overt' stutterer? Covert being you mostly hide your stutter and not a lot of people can tell immediately, overt being maybe a...

confidence is a part for sure. so it being distracted. i find that for me mildly thinking about stuttering is when its the worst: if i am focusing on it i rarely stutter (but that is exhausting) bu...

personally, i have my down moments about it (just look at my post history in this sub) but nine days out of ten it simply doesnt bother me. dont get me wrong, it sucks when you order the burger when ...

I took methylphenidate for a few weeks (not for adhd, but for a sleep disorder) and I didn't notice any appreciable difference. I had 20mg, same dose as in this paper. Now I take modafinil and I haven...

I've taken methylphenidate (Ritalin) and currently take modafinil (provigil) for a different condition. Neither one had an appreciable effect on my stuttering. Perhaps if there was a large study there...

I got that kind of reaction tonight when I went to pick up food at a restaurant. I think shuttering is rare/concealed enough that it isn't immediately recognized by people for what it is, so they expr...

She's an incredibly amazing woman. Im actually just starting the same therapy she did, which is called Avoidance Reduction Therapy. It not sure how much you'll find but look up Joseph Sheehan. The the...

Wow. This hit home. What a powerful presentation and story. She speaks so fluently and confidently that one would never guess that she had a speech impediment. Someday, I hope to be able to do the s...

I used to have to say my name on the phone at work and people would often say "are you SURE that's your name, ha ha!" (because I said it slow in a way that made it sound like I was just making it up o...

MDMA is great for your stutter. While I cannot say a complete sentence sober without stuttering, I could speak for 10 minutes without stuttering on mdma. I'm pretty sure the reason is that we simply d...

Really depends on how it is said to me. If they seem like they are doing it in a "friendly" (like you can tell they were thinking it maybe a joke) I usualy will just politely respond "No, I just have ...

Mind if I reply to your comment via PM? ...

I hear you. When I was a lot less confident, like back in high school, I'd speak a lot more quietly. I've gotten to the point now where I know I'm a loud talker and I'm okay with it. It's not to th...

I rarely ever have people make a comment when I stutter when giving my name. A couple of times I can remember someone asked me if I forgot my name, and I just kept going till I got the word out. I fel...

I think that makes sense. I usually like to announce it to people when I first meet them though, I think it not only makes things easier for me but it also helps people to understand stuttering. Jus...

Stutterers like myself are just like a regular person. Hire us for what we know and not how we say it. ...

I either just continue saying my name or i'll give a small head shake and then go back to finishing my name. Sometimes i'll say no and go back to finishing my name. There's no anger in it and they usu...

How do you respond to "forgot your name?"

How do you respond to "forgot your name?" Generally, because if you're like me and you get that question maybe 1 in every 3 times you go to order food or meet people, I think it's important to recogni...
