Me as well. A classmate of mine in high-school laughed and imitated me when I stuttered, when the rest of the students came into the classroom, she told them and laughed so hard. I've never felt so hu...

It's disgusting and probably plays a big role in why 64% of adult stutters have had suicidal ideation. I've had my fair share of both, and it's just so dehumanising....

Living in society means encountering monkeys like that now and then. It's hard but don't take it to heart. That doesn't sound like a company you want to work for....

Exactly this. That reflects so poorly on stutterers. It’s going to make people think that stutterers are basically low IQ and cognitively deficient. Incredibly insulting...

Those same people will mock anyone, regardless of disability and situation. Biden, regardless if you like him or not, is the current face of the US and is viewed by the WORLD. So of course he's going ...

I don’t think people realize stuttering is an actual thing. So for them, it’s a joke - or funny to hear someone stumble on their words and don’t understand the weight, stress and anxiety it causes the...

Okay to mock

Wow! Can I commiserate! I was totally fluent for the previous 5 years, and then boom! Now I identify as a stutterer again. I don't even know why this thing is such a terrible label because I'm 77, and...
