thank you so much for the kind words <3...

I have stuttered for 50+ years now. My experience is that many insecure people have found that belittling someone else makes them feel powerful (in the moment) and that may fuel their self esteem or e...

Same here, I have a combination of blockages and repetition but the blockages are much more frequent (and more frustrating for that matter). I like to pretend there’s just a very mischievous and fuc...

For real. Yeah, that’s a good point that I’ve never thought of. I block. Not much repetition for me. People just ask if I forgot my name. Or what I wanted to order. Or whatever other ignorant ass co...

Yep. That’s me! 100% tension based. Sometimes I’m physically exhausted after a conversation. ...

Thanks for sharing that, I appreciate the perspective. I’m actually trying to understand how people who stutter naturally use hand gestures during presentations or public speaking situations (not tapp...

I also get this too, I don’t have to do orals and can record and submit privately to the lecturer only ...

Yeah, it’s ok to be vulnerable and let your guard down around those closest to you. You’re only human and God knows how exhausting it is for us to focus hard on fluency in social situations. Be strong...

So real for all of us . ...

Both dating life and life in general I do not get taken seriously due to stuttering. Have stuttered my entire life...

Yeah it’s blocking and it’s super frustrating, i’d much rather have a typical repeating-stutter. At least that one people can identify you having a stutter...

I’m sorry you had such a bad experience. Interviewing is the hardest part of being a PWS. I disclose in my resume that I’m a Neurodivergent Professional who has managed a mild persistent developmenta...

Now that’s a take I can get behind. Are you in the U.S. and involved with any support organizations like The National Stuttering Association? www.westutter.org ...

I understand your feelings and I’m sure other people feel the same way. Personally, my experience with stuttering has created unbearable anger within me. I feel like society has taught me that I’m not...

Hello, I admire your vision and wanting to share those emotions we get as people who stutter. I was totally on board, but you lost me when it culminated into violence. ...

They sometimes even happen to the same person! I used to have the usual repetition stutter as a child and then somehow switched to blocking. ...

Yes. I block. It’s my primary impediment ...

Made a film about stuttering!

Made a film about stuttering! Hi! I’ve posted a short film I made for my senior thesis about a student who endures an ableist classmate and must come to terms with her own prejudices. It’s called S-sp...

Yes, that is my stutter. Usually it feels like my throat or vocal cords close up and I can’t get any words out. Other times it’s like a wall goes up that stops the words that travel from my brain to m...
