I only sought speech therapy as a kid for a year or two. Preparation for speeches etc was on my own, without help from any slp. I don't know what PWS means....

Thank you for this! Did you learn how to prepare your speech for stressful situations yourself, or did you seek help by working with an SLP or someone else? As a future SLP (I graduate in May), I real...

Thanks for weighing in! Everyone's responses have been really helpful....

Just act like you would talking/listening to anyone else. I am the first one to admit that talking to someone that stutters is awkward. I even try to avoid speaking with other stutterers because it ma...

Read the criticism section of that wiki article. Johnson's work has been pretty thoroughly discredited along with his theory that labeling a child as a stutteter is what causes stuttering. He's respon...

I have written about specific experiences before and you might find then in my comment history....

It's not severe under most circumstances. My confidence grew by surviving many situations at work etc where there was a possibility of me looking like a fool because of my stutter. I eventually found ...

Thanks! He seems like a pretty chill and friendly guy....

If this is a situation that is going to happen a lot, and if it were me, I wouldn't mind if you asked. Personally, I would be quite flattered that you actually cared enough to ask me. Again, looking a...

I've dipped my toes into Buddhism and use the site [AudioDharma.org](http://www.audiodharma.org/). Gil Fronsdal is my favourite teacher but they're all great. Recently I've been using [this guided m...

Thank you for the insight! How severe is your stutter, if you don't mind me asking? It seems like you're a very confident person and you don't let your stutter define you, which is how it should be re...

Yeah, pretty much everyone here has suggested talking to him about what he prefers. Would you be comfortable with someone you've only recently met asking you? It seems like something that would be bet...

Thanks! This is really great advice :)...

Thanks! I really appreciate getting everyone's different point of view on this. Everyone really is different so I realize now that it is important to figure out what he as an individual prefers. I wil...

Thank you! :)...

I feel that I don't need to highlight it myself. I don't see a reason to do that voluntarily. If i stutter when talking to someone, and they ask me about it, I don't hesitate to answer their questions...

I realize I'm posting much later than the original post, but I'm glad I stumbled upon this. I'm actually a SLP grad student and I'm conducting research on this exact topic (pertaining to how a disclos...

That was such a good programme. I pretty much cried throughout the whole episode, bless his heart. ...

Personally, I prefer it when people tell me the word because otherwise I'm just stood there struggling and feeling like a goon. But this obviously isn't everyone's stance. I suggest you talk to him, j...

Be a good role model and show that you're listening and interested in what he has to say. Don't fidget or shuffle papers. It's not necessary to maintain eye contact if it feels awkward, just pretend t...
