I live in Malaysia. People here understands it and quite accepting. But I still feel the school didn't do anything to help stuttering children, or maybe it's just my family refuse to take me to therap...

I'm guessing things are quite different depending on each country. How about in your country? Do you think people are accepting toward people who stutter where you live?...

Hi, I stutter (24m) and I’m currently in college and went through this. Tbh I just stuttered and said my name, I didn’t even disclose that I stutter bc honestly they could already tell hahahaha. No on...

Yeah it seems easier nowadays. I don't understand how kids got away with abusing handicapped people in schools and even the teachers didn't seem to care enough to try to do anything....

I have found that students in schools nowadays are a bit more “woke”, at least from my experience working in the U.S. public schools. I too remember being laughed at when in middle school which was…w...

Awkward when family members bring up someone else who stutters?

Awkward when family members bring up someone else who stutters? So yesterday my mom was looking up Sam L Jackson (I’m not sure what caused her to do so). My dad was in the room as well. Anyways, I g...

>Is there one of them who is kinder than others? Definitely, there are some. But even though they are kind, I can see them keeping more & more distance from me with time. > Hopefully a wom...

Is it possible for you to go to a different company? If you do, maybe stating from day 1 that you have an speech impediment would help people to be more aware about how they treat you. It would also h...

They just thought i was trying to "take advantage" of my stutter so told me to either give a presentation or get 0. Had to work hard to get a good grade to balance this out....

Even though they came from a prestigious work and school background as you said, they're there working with you in the end. Which must mean you're pretty darn smart and capable of the job, and you don...

>No one is gonna physically harm you because of your stutter just stutter who cares This is usually true, but does remind me of a time I was at a bar a few years ago and almost got in a fight caus...

That’s awful. One of my parents was like that so I cut him off permanently. In my opinion, it’s borderline impossible to have a relationship with a family member that blames you for your neurological ...

I mean, it's still socially considered a choice (like depression was years ago) EVEN in developed countries (I already accepted that down here in latam I won't get an ear in my lifetime)...

I don’t think they intended to brag or make others feel worse off. But “if I can then anyone can” is incredibly ableist and doesn’t actually help or motivate anyone...

You're not being stubborn. In fact, if you've been taught "tools", then you feel the way the majority feel about tools. You don't like them because they don't work when you need them. And they're the ...

Not trying to be negative at all but I can not possibly understand how opening yourself up to being mocked, made fun of or insulted that undoubtedly leads to some type of trauma being a good thing....
