I don't prefer writing to speaking, but I am a fairly decent writer and I think it might have something to do with having a stutter. I'm studying to become a teacher, but writing is my real passion. ...

Interesting. I can, if the words come to me easily enough, write a couple thousand words without stopping once. Certainly sounds like a writing stutter with the constant changing. ...

I've become exceedingly good at knowing which words I'll stutter on and changing them to something else. Though the best thing to do is not to think about it. ...

Everyone who has both talked to me and read what I've written knows that I'm a much better writer than I am a speaker. I'd consider myself an almost-moderately-ok writer (which is certainly a lot bett...

Im not a writer or talker.....

Yes, even though as a kid I also played sports and spent time with friends a lot. Mostly because I used to stutter less, or give less of a crap, when I was younger. But basically for the same reason a...

Anyone else a better writer than speaker?

Anyone else a better writer than speaker? I've stuttered my whole life (it's been getting better as I've gotten older and don't think about it as much as I used to) and, since conversing with people w...

Thanks, I'm happy my words had a positive impact :) > if I'm able to openly speak, regardless of stuttering, then I win either way. This I think is the real victory. It's what I am striving for. ...

Thanks for this post, I like it so much I copied it into a word document and saved it, for whenever I want to reread it. It's tough, and much easier to say than do, but you've inspired me to try to be...

I stutter and I can tell you it has nothing to do with breathing. I had some untalented speech therapists in elementary school who would just tell me to work on slow breathing and to "stop and start o...

I usually tell my professors I have a stutter at the beginning of the semester. One offered to not call on me unless I raised my hand, but I told her that won't be necessary, and to treat me like any ...

No, because life isn't accommodating. You have to adapt to it and learn to overcome. ...

I personally dont think this would work. I think it would out a stutter more than it would save them. On a related note, stuttering is recognized as an actual disability. ...

Go to a speech pathologist. And go to one who is actually a stutterer themselves. I went to one, and while it didnt cure me (that wont ever happen) it did help me quite a bit and gave me things to wor...

I'm not naive. I can tell you that. I might be conceited at times.. But that has nothing to do with this. I don't stutter when I'm alone. It's because I'm not scared. I don't judge myself. When I tal...

Have you ever given it a shot ?...

I stutter. And this is legit advice. I'm doing it and its working. I've tried so many things.... Went back to square 1. And I think in a couple weeks i will be stutter free. But let's see. Only time c...

In highschool my teachers were very accommodating, they would not ask me to read aloud, and for presentations (not all of them, but most of them) I was allowed to present to them privately outside of ...

I haven't yet (FR in community community college), but I plan to at some point, perhaps when I transfer in the fall. What we gotta realize is that registering with the disability office helps the prof...

The problem with giving accommodations is that it takes away a ground for improvement. I used to hate giving speechs and asking questions (I still do haha) but it helped build a lot more confidence th...
