You can cope in several ways. I connected with a self help organization: The National Stuttering Association. Through them I met people going through the same thing as me. I even made life long fr...

My (stuttering) interview with Australian/New Zealand Actor Shaun McKean - what do you'll think?

My (stuttering) interview with Australian/New Zealand Actor Shaun McKean - what do you'll think? ...

Awesome post. Stuttering truly does build character. You either learn to swim with courage and perseverance or you sink. Trial by fire. The stuttering around our parents one is interesting to me. I w...

I remember watching that movie many years ago, but I don’t recall anyone having a stutter. Makes me wanna watch it again!...

Another good example is A Fish Called Wanda, Michael Palin's dad had a stutter and he based his acting off his dad! ...

I agree with this being a problem...I wish they had mentioned that he sill stuttered, he just had continued speech therapy throughout his life. ...

Hahaha this is so real. Constantly for as long as the hype lasted "wow have you seen The King's Speech? I think you'd love the King's Speech!" Plus my mum had a thing for Colin Firth so I had to watch...

so, i rewatched this film with my wife recently, and i just burst into tears during the last speech he gives. i think the film isn't completely accurate about how it is to be a stutterer, and i agree ...

One of my favourite movie. But its one of those movies I dont want to discuss with anyone. Because then the topic would turn to stuttering and its kinda annoying to see people pitying over you...

It was a pain in my ass at least, as I was initially tied down to sit through an hour and a half of Colin Firth being frustrated before the thrilling climax where he successfully delivers one speech, ...

I think it was great. I watched the first time when I was about 13, which was that time I was getting to understand my stutter. If you’re into horror movies, I suggest watching IT. The main character ...

I think overall is was helpful for the stuttering community....

I think the opening scene is amazing. It captured the moment of stuttering so well. I wish they hadn’t added the traumatic childhood stuff. But overall I think it helped explain what stuttering is lik...

Currently working in Quality Assurance (I basically write Quality Manuals and pro forma all day long, it's so boring). Before that I worked in retail for years. Retail was not that bad. I quite enjoye...

A comment on this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/6rzd03/so_fucking_depressed_and_held_back_in_life_cause/?utm_source=reddit-android) helped me a lot with my depression and my stutter...

> If I did that sort of scene, it would be more along the lines of a covert stutterer finding the courage to give the big speech (or whatever), knowing that they were going to stutter through it --...

I agree that I think having an MC who stutters in a novel about other stuff is the best way to go and I don't think it's minimizing. Especially if they're the hero, or they're important and cool, kind...

Love this idea!!! Have your ever read Stephen Kings, IT? I know it’s really hot right now, I’ve read it last summer and it’s now my favorite book because of how King put stuttering into the story. ...

Sorry, I should clarify that I was being a bit tongue in cheek with that example! Though oddly enough, I personally found that I was able to act in high school; my stutter was non-existent in that par...

Thanks for this, hugely helpful! I think you're absolutely right. The story needs to stand on its own two feet regardless of the stuttering issue. Out of curiosity, do you work with YA fiction? As you...
