Thanks. Yeah, it does feel horrible to open my mouth to talk, expecting things to come out normal (ie:forgetting I now stutter) and then be unable to produce a fluent sentence. Yet, I ask myself whe...

I actually find this sort of thing thoroughly unhelpful. Basically every famous stutterer has only a very mild stutter, usually completely hidden to an outside observer.  It makes it a hollow inspir...

Stammering affects 1 in 50 adults. Out of the 98% that don’t stutter how many light up any room? I think a lot of people who stutter imagine they would otherwise be as articulate as Obama, as funny as...
