How to test if you are making progress in your speech (not about fluency) Isn't the answer “you are making speech progress when you are stuttering less”? That would be an easy answer, but contradict...

Totally understandable, there's a very notorious pathway of seeing adversity and disability as "inspiration" or something we overcame or something that makes us different and somehow we should love wh...

That's interesting! Can you explain your reasoning more? Because my understanding is that you can't just forget stuttering, it is something you will have your whole life. I've learnt that it's best to...

For me, it depends on how much of a threat I perceive the person to be regardless of gender. I can be a modern day Casanova with one woman, but an infantile blubbering mess with the next. Same with me...
