First of all, I think jokes like this are insensitive. I'm not pressed about it or anything, but I'm pretty sure no decent person would make a joke like that. Like I've had people laugh at my stutter...

I don't think these particular jokes are offensive on their own, but it kinda rubs me the wrong way. I think there is a difference hearing jokes from someone who is familiar with and respectful to the...

I mind the jokes very much. And I dont even make fun of myself over this. If I only take this as a joke on me, then what do you imagine others will do? It's one thing to formally address this as somet...

Facts. Every time someone posts what you said the comments get flooded with employed stutterers telling you how it’s not so bad. And no hate to them! But when you’re not college educated or your field...

I also work in a field adjacent with SLP and have learned that most SLPs receive very little (or incorrect) training about what stuttering actually is. They think it’s just a random annoying flub tha...

in my adolescence it was a constant volley of laughs so I have grown resentful of anyone that reminds me of those times, irrespective of their intentions. I would much prefer someone to just shut the...

From the perspective of someone without a stutter, I think it's often times a knee jerk reaction, it's a little surprising or maybe we think the person stuttering is joking at first. But I think most ...

Rough day

Rough day Currently sitting in bed chain smoking and with the words of an old primary school teacher playing in my head on a loop “speak properly” over and over again. Thought i was somewhat over it b...

Got laughed at today

Got laughed at today *sigh* I tried asking these two girls a question and they just burst out laughing once I finally got it out. It was evident that they had no clue what was going on. Regardless of...
