I’m glad that’s the case for you now! I remember working at a jimmy johns when I was younger and while working the register I had a customer who stuttered come up to order, once he realized I stuttere...

Most of the time I do! They usually apologize when I tell them, sometimes I’ll just laugh it off though...

M is a hard letter for you *because* it’s starts your name. When someone says that, inform them what is going on for you. Otherwise, they’ll never know...

I’ve only had someone mock me once for it, and immediately turned to them that it’s a big deal for me and them mocking me for it was undoing all the hard work that my speech therapist put into it. The...

Christ I get that all the time. However I’ve found that often just responding you have a stutter makes them apologise profusely. I don’t do it all the time but I always feel much better when I do and ...

You know, I was also a nurse many moons ago. I always said DX because I couldn’t say diagnosis. If someone asked, I’d say it’s hard for me to say because of my speech. Everyone was like…..okay....

The reason I say I can't really disclose it during work is because I take emergency calls and its a waste of time that I don't have to disclose to the caller and/or the operator. Even at that, I've d...

Disclosing helped me go from being without heat for 3 days bc of fear of the phone - to only worrying about my stutter once every 3 days. It took about a month. I was at mechanic today, and they ...

For two prior jobs I was a supervisor over a team of roughly 5 people, give or take. The latest position I was on the phones, a LOT. And if there’s one thing stutterers have in common, it’s we all hat...

I get it, We all want fluency. We should continue to work on the things we can control like our thoughts and emotions, our self talk and our breathing and posture. Read books, educate yourself. Findi...

I agree with asking. My husband stutters, and he does appreciate people being told in advance, but how it’s done matters. He would definitely prefer that it be disclosed in private, rather than as som...
