Good on you for not caring about it! I didn't care about it until Grade 8 - then all of a sudden was extremely self-conscious, and it ruined my life - then I dragged myself out of that hole when I was...

Not making people uncomfortable but I do revel in minor confrontation now. Once in a while people are somewhat rude to me because of my profession (journalism) and that always makes my eyes light up ...

Surprisingly, in my life I only met 2 stutterers. And I never brought it up and my speech was perfect after I heard them talking and stuttering. If I would do it again, I would bring it up. ...

Thanks for the input! I happened to see him a couple more times and he seemed quite friendly and extended the conversation beyond what he had to, which was great. I didn't bring up stuttering and don...

I used to live in Brooklyn, NY (there's 2.6 million people in Brooklyn, so it's probably OK to say that, I hope) and I bet they will never go out of business. ...

Ha, I wish I could go back in time sometimes. There are actually some skates available at the location I am at currently. Recently when we were dead a carhop who just been rehired (a story for another...

Female stutterer here. Only met two other stutterers irl one was a girl a couple years younger than me (I am now 22) and a guy who had learned to greatly minimize his and became a speech therapist for...

Personally I wouldn't but it would depend on the kid. As a kid growing up with a stutter since about 9 years old I thought I was alone. I never knew anyone who had a stutter till I was 18 (well aside ...

It's alright, thank you so much I always hope that when people read my stories they will like them and they won't be too long. Some older folks will try to take the tray from my hands and hook it on t...

Oh....I just realized you might be in the UK since you said "mobile." Maybe they never stopped using carhops there to bring out food for drive-thru customers?...

You know I love your stories. I just have to say: every time you say "carhop" I think of the 1950s, what I've seen in movies. Is it like that at your place, where you hook a tray onto their open car...

I have had a stutter for the past 13 plus years and I am a server at Speedys (not real name) drive in. I was scared af my first week or two and after a bit my hours were cut to convince me to start ta...

I once went to an intensive 2 week speech therapy clinic at the University of Toledo. One of the assignments was to walk around campus and ask people if they know anyone who stutters and what they thi...

Ah. Well, I for one tend to mention it IRL too. The more we talk about it, the more likely it is to spread in general. Not that stutter necessarily needs to be a common topic, but I like to at least i...

At no point does anyone make fun of him, or point it out, or expect him to hurry up. They accept it and accept him and just let him talk through it. Also, he's not dumb, he ends up doing very well ...

It sort of is, but he turns out to be very smart when he goes to college. In the end, he's really the smartest, most virtuous, heroic, etc. one in the movie. Now, I don't think the movie is intended...

Did you like how stuttering was portrayed in The Waterboy?

Did you like how stuttering was portrayed in The Waterboy? Hey all, The Waterboy came out when I was 10 or so and instantly became my favourite movie of all time, and it still is. I think Adam Sand...

I teach abroad in China and I find it so helpful to be around non native speakers and they don't notice your corrections and ticks. Feel free to pm me, I have tons of YouTube videos about teaching ab...

I can relate to this so much. Go for it & don't look back, you've got this. https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/5i8jev/story_time/...

I don't usually like TEDs, but [this](https://youtu.be/9MegHiL93B0) is a pretty great video about a female stutterer...
