There is a man called William Parry. He has absolutely changed my entire life. I’ve stuttered my whole life and in the past 2 weeks I’ve been doing these exercises that have made me almost completely ...

I like that it hides the facial tick during a block....

again, he does that with everyone, not just people with disabilities. i'm not defending him, I'm just explaining that he's not targeting disabled people....

I did but he didn't do that BECAUSE he was disabled, he did it because he does that hand motion whenever he interprets someone he finds idiotic....

Yes it is! Thats the exact pose and the exact thing that people with that disability do. Did you not see what he did? the pose? the freezing up?...

Yeah, usually only on bad days though. My head usually goes down and then back up when I'm repeating the word I'm stuttering on....

I think there might be a difference between habitualized secondary behaviors, and then involuntary severe movement like what you seem to describe. I'm not quite sure, though. Say a kid starts develop...

Yeah, I close my eyes, head down and away, almost like I’m going to puke or trying to swallow something. That’s just one of them....

Yup! I have some tics too and it sucks. Sometimes they’re very painful. It’s a result of your body trying to force out the tension so they’re usually pretty harsh movements....

Yes, I have very similar tics, my brief time on this sub taught me those are called secondaries. It doesn't happen every time I'm stuck on a word, but sometimes my eyes roll up a little and I turn my ...

I do! Mine is that when I get stuck and it’s getting difficult to say something, I close my eyes and start nodding and moving my head forwards and backwards. I think it’s more of a positive tic than ...

Anyone else have tics when they stutter?

Anyone else have tics when they stutter? So I've noticed that when I'm having a hard time with my stutter, specifically when I get stuck in a repetition, my eyes and head move and jerk in the same pat...

Interesting, I’ve never found myself experiencing more stutter. Depending on the mask, it can restrict breathing a little, so maybe it can play a role?...

It doesn’t make much of a difference for me, but I prefer no mask because when I stutter the mask will start to fall and I have to hold it up while talking...

I hate how my lips touch the inside of the mask and it feels weird so I stutter more...

Struggling so much working at my grocery store

Struggling so much working at my grocery store I am a bagger for a grocery store and if a customer has milk with them I have to ask "Would you like a bag with your milk?". This sentence is so hard to ...

When i stutter, sometimes i accidently spray the person i talk with a stream of saliva. At least the mask prevents that....

I like that people don’t see my face while i’m struggling. But sometimes they wonder why I don’t answer anything and just stare at them....

I usually start panicking and make myself worse. When my stutter is really bad my mouth stretches open and nothing comes out, I've been asked if I'm tired/yawning loads of times :/ it's so embarrassin...

How does wearing a mask affect your stutter?

How does wearing a mask affect your stutter? Personally, I've found I stutter much more with a mask on and I'm curious about what others have experienced [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/il78h...
