I’ve been stuttering since I was about 4 years old, and I can honestly say that being open about it *really* helps. If you’re going into a conversation and just put it out there, the rest of the conve...

It depends on what you mean by mocking. I can only think of 2 or 3 times that's actually happened to me, and most of those people were under the age of 18. The vast majority of time, what feels like...
