I'll be honest, I was not able to get through your article at the moment because I'm on vacation with family and chasing my 1 year old around. What I did read of it I liked though. It's very thoughtfu...

Yeah, I always stutter a lot more when I'm nervous or I'm reading something scripted....

giving oral presentations is a skill regardless of whether one stutters or not. The best way to learn to manage stuttering while giving oral presentations is to give oral presentations. There is not...

Is it possible to get another code?...

alright. when a stutterer comes to a stuttering sub, why would you recommend things that are not geared for the specifics of stuttering? OP will not overcome stuttering by learning to give oral prese...

I do stutter and I know a hell of a lot about stuttering. I guarantee my knowledge of stuttering goes deeper than most. (speech therapist and stuttering researcher here)...

let me put it differently... do you stutter? how much do you know about stuttering?...

One of my favorite stories is when I tried to order a country fried steak but I got suck in a loop of "cunt" (took about 4 tries). Either the waitress didn't notice at all, or she was a pro and stroll...

We were reading some play in class and my teacher gave me a heavy part because when I'm not stuttering I'm pretty good at reading aloud. One day I guess I was stressed and I just couldn't get through ...
