Wow, that's unbelievable, especially for an adult. I make kind of weird faces when I stutter too and people often think they're funny or dumb looking. If I hadn't been too shocked I probably would hav...

I just spent a week being laughed at by a bunch of little kids while I was helping out with VBS for one thing. Other than that it's just occasional. I'm still a teenager, so maybe it'll get better. My...

What kind of people are you all around who make fun of your stutter? Sure I'll get people who are confused on phone calls but I'll just tell them that I stutter and that fixes it. Usually "I stutter" ...

I had an incident a couple years ago which i still remember like it happened yesterday. I met a guy in my first month of university and he asked me a question. I got stuck on a noun that took me over ...

I’ve only had someone mock me once for it, and immediately turned to them that it’s a big deal for me and them mocking me for it was undoing all the hard work that my speech therapist put into it. The...

I once hit some coworkers with “you wouldn’t make fun of a guy in a wheel chair.” when they were cracking jokes at me and that change in perspective worked for a little bit....

I'm sure in a particular context, with a friend that cares and understands, that poking fun is okay to do (so long as the person that stutters consents to this). I don't think this is what OP is refer...

Even as a mild stutterer these days, I almost wonder if it's time to start going complete ham on people who mock us and show them the same lack of understanding we get....

I don't want to be laughed at when I'm trying to say something and be taken seriously. There's a time and place for making jokes, if you like that sort of thing, but laughing when people are trying to...

I think there are several factors. First, it's kind of an invisible/stealth disability. You walk into a room of people; you'd never be able to pick out the stutterer. No white cane or seeing eye dog...

Sometimes people in this sub tend to forget that we all are on the same boat. I was rejected as well. Many times and for many things. I had to go to therapy. I had to endure getting laughed at, judged...

Why is stuttering the one disability it's still okay to mock?

Why is stuttering the one disability it's still okay to mock? Someone had mentioned on my last post that a lot of people are more accepting of and exposed to disabilities now, but I really think stutt...

This person is telling OP to talk very carefully and substitute words when they can. Substituting words is exactly what we ARENT supposed to do. So I’m going to stick with what I said. Continue to spe...

Speaking from the experience. You do pick up a stutter. When I was very young, my brother had a stutter. I used to tease him all the time. Whenever he called me broo-oo-th---er, I replied y--y--e--ee-...

Half my team didn’t know I had a stutter, until my boss bitched about my stutter saying he can’t take me on client calls and doesn’t want to hire another person has a stutter. Then one of my team mate...

I'd have to agree with this. I've had my stutter since I learned to talk, hard for a toddler to already have inferiority issues. I definitely feel like that sometimes if I get stuck trying to talk in ...

Was just charged an extra $1.60 at a bakery because they think I’m illiterate because I have a stutter.

Was just charged an extra $1.60 at a bakery because they think I’m illiterate because I have a stutter. I didn’t say anything because getting upset would make my stutter worse and also likely make me ...

I had a similar experience in my college internship a few years ago. I was put in charge of tutoring kids ages 9 - 12 and they also asked me the same questions when my stutter/blocks would eventually ...

Yeah, this is good advice. That was definitely too much. I thought talking to kids would be less pressure lol....
