I agree we should not play the victim card and blame all of our misfortunes on our stutter. But to imply adult stutterers do not get discriminated against solely because of our stutter is ignorance. ...

We watched My Cousin Vinny in high school and that scene was really hard to get through! I fully empathized with the lawyer's struggles, and from my perspective it was essentially a dramatic scene. I...

You should stop playing a victim and carry on

You should stop playing a victim and carry on This is a short rant after seeing a recent stream of posts in the recent weeks trying to portray stuttering as an identity group of victimized neurodiverg...

Yeah. It definitely landed wrong with me. However, the droid is only in about half the episodes and is suppose to be the family "dog." Fortunately, I was able to look past it....

Yes! I forgot about B2EMO, it was very clear his speech impediment was meant to show he is old and has power supply issues. It did upset me too. And I am a huge star wars fan, as well. I did finis...

Movies are one of the primarily reasons why stuttering isn't looked on as a deficiency or a legit 'problem' because it was always used as a butt of a joke or made fun of. Stutter has always been used ...

How do you feel about portrayals of stuttering in movies?

How do you feel about portrayals of stuttering in movies? The thing that makes me stutter more than anything else, is being constantly reminded that I am a stutterer. So I automatically feel uncomfort...

If an adult teacher is laughing at an obviously struggling child, they aren't worth a single breath of an explanation....

You should never feel shame in reporting inappropriate behavior. Tolerance for this type of bullshit has lowered contrary to the past....

That’s fucked up. If even the teachers are laughing and the school administrators like the principal and counselors aren’t doing anything about it, I’d probably sue the school board for discrimination...

Egypt. People don't give a shit here. I never encountered someone who laughed at me for stuttering. I get mistaken for a special needs person, which doesn't happen a lot but it's frustrating enough to...

Yeah report the the teachers to prolong the inevitable... if it isn't the teachers that makes fun of him it's the customers at his work place. my point is that crying and reporting at people making ...

People are so cruel. I've always had a stutter/block and school was so hard. And now my 13 year old kid has it. First of all, give yourself a break. It's really hard but you are better than them. You ...

Have your parents speak to the principal and teachers. Give your classmates some small slack. At 16, their brains have not fully developed (yes, really). It’s nothing personal that they are laughing...

That last part of you comment is not the point. People are going to make fun, that's just the world we live in. But s teacher, i.e. an authority figure, should be a little more responsible. And, I don...

I don’t like this. Yes, if op were to tell people would get in trouble, but that’s not stopping them from thinking it, talking about it to other people, or laughing when you’re not around. I’d rather ...

I'm from the Philippines. Got bullied in my childhood because of my stutter. Currently working now and my workmates seem to understand about my stutter which lessens me to stutter when I do work/pre...

If people, especially teachers, are ridiculing then this needs to be brought to the attention of the principle, and potentially more. The struggle is more than enough, you shouldn't have to deal wit...

Fellow Canadian here, I agree. Most of the "Canadians are so polite!" Is just nonsense to make us feel smug lol. I found that in certain contexts disclosing that I stutter has helped, although many mo...
