I asked my girlfriend because I forget and she said she noticed then I told her after. I still can’t introduce her to anyone because I struggle on B words! I think most of the girls just kind of not...

Yes, 100% agreed. I had a speech easy about 15 years ago and it was great at first. Definitely helped me especially when I was first starting out in my career. Fast forward about 5 years and I was ju...

My mindset definitely. If I'm in an interview or a speech I just say flat out I have a stutter. By not telling them in those scenarios it will just make you seem presumably nervous, and won't help you...

Yes, it is classed as a disability in the UK and I think also in the USA. This is definitely discrimination but the question is whether you want to take them to court over it. If I were you I would ...

I say so as soon as it comes up. I'll start stuttering and then stop myself and say "Oh by the way I stutter". Now as a graduate student seeing clients weekly, I did disclose about my stutter right ...

What I quite like doing, is talking until I stutter, which differes from person to person. But when it eventually happens. I try to say “oh and by the way, I have a stutter”, and I find once that li...
