Thank you for replying, and yeah I’ve witnessed people picking at my boyfriends stutter but I didn’t know wether to intervene or what, afterwards I did drop that person a message and called them out. ...

I think it's best to ask the person directly what they want you to do. Some people want to be "outed" and some don't. Some people want special treatment, some don't. But the general consensus is to j...

Stutterer here. First of all, I think it's really great that you're proactively and thoughtfully asking how you can be a good support to your future employee. As someone who was almost fired for havin...

Everyone is different I'd just ask the person Personally I'd like if someone else broke the ice about it for me oh and I absolutely hate it when someone tries to "help me speak" it's one of...

so there are 3 things really here. 1. the first is how you personally should react when the person stutters. I would say, if its mild- moderate- as in its noticeable but does not lead to a break down...

crazy concept right here— ask them and communicate with them, because people who stutter are individuals with varying preferences....

Mild Stutterer here - I would leave it up to person to tell them. You mentioned that you spoke with him for an hour about a project and he didn't stutter until the very end. I doubt people will be tal...

Hello Everyone I am a stutter and I am proud of it. Also I also went on a course a few months ago that teaches the stutter how to control their stutter. And if you would like to go on this course j...

My words, for years, were always at the last of my breath too. It’s exhausting to speak that way. Starting with “I have a stutter”, like you said you’ve been doing, is a great way to own who you are...

I never cared too much about my stutter, maybe on first dates, maybe i was wirh really good people who showed patience. Try slowing down when talking. Take deep breathes between sentances. Use as much...

Starting with "my name is (blank)" or "Hi, I'm (blank)" are definitely good spring boards. Often times, I will say my name before I am asked for it, as I feel there is more pressure/anxiety subconscio...

I do the same thing, but I cope with it by leading with “my name is” at the start, which is slightly awkward but it helps start the sentence, which is the hardest part. If you have an obscure name t...

I’m scared to say my own name, it’s like a phobia

I’m scared to say my own name, it’s like a phobia I have a stutter and usually I’m whatever about it but lately I’ve been stupid anxious over it. I stutter often on my name specifically so I never int...

I think the very best first sentence is "Hi, I am (name). I just want you to know that I have a stutter. if it happens, just wait and let me finish. That's all." Self-disclosure is so powerful. It mig...

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I was in the same boat but this was 500 people. I just breathed, disclosed my stutter and said a little joke for the ice breaker. I did a great job and received p...

You are not alone. Focus on one day at a time and disclose your stutter to everyone. It's quite freeing and most IMPORTANTLY, DO NOT CARE what others think about your stutter. Just know that yo...

High school teacher w/moderate-to-severe stutter here. It will be a challenge, but it's also a challenge you can conquer. Be up front about your stutter: mention it first thing, and tell people how th...

Well done on being chosen to do this. It's great that you're getting this kind of experience - and you sound very determined. How big is the class? One thing I find helpful is to tell people...

Hey I live in Ireland too and I started TY 3 weeks ago. I’ve already had to give a presentation with a couple more coming up soon and I’ve had too introduce myself many times and it’s actually petrify...

First to comment. I find group settings to be the perfect training ground for your stutter. It forces you to project your voice. To have to come to terms with having to show and talk with confidence. ...
