Your stutter is actually a great filtering mechanism. The right girls won’t care about it, and the wrong ones will cancel themselves out before you have a chance to waste time with them. Bottom line: ...

Too many to remember! But trust me, you're never alone. The best thing you can do when someone mocks you is stand up for yourself and tell them that they're laughing at someone that has a disability....

No. If she likes YOU (which you’ll never learn if you don’t approach her), then that won’t matter. You’d rather find out now, than find out later that she secretly despises it and throws it in your fa...

the tip about encouraging "what do you mean" sounds good. I will take it, but I'm a bit afraid of taking it fully without regulations in place. I'd probably enforce a rule like "you may ask for clari...

Discrimination is so normalized. It's bad out there. the basic principle we need to fight for is that the disabled person should be the one to choose how to communicate. If I want to speak, let me fi...
