I've literally had my mother make fun of my stutter to my face before lol. Also when I was a teenage waitress I got my fair few comments like 'retard' and 'spaz'...

My best advice is to advocate for yourself and educate yourself more on stuttering so you can appropriately address those types of comments. One way to prepare yourself is to take a brief moment befo...

Like with any other disability, you **MUST ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF!** "I stuttered because I am a stutterer. I grew up with a stutter and it is a challenge I face in my life every day." We've all felt...

Professors just don't get it. They think showing sympathy or being understanding is giving you an unfair advantage. I think that stuttering has been classified as a disability for a reason....

Thank you! The tricky thing is allowing myself to stutter fully around coworkers and not try to hide it. Someone at my work made fun of my stutter while I was trying to hide it so with him still here ...

Thank you for reminding me of that. He’s proof that just because a celebrity takes on an air of confidence doesn’t mean there’s any intellectual depth to them. He was talking straight out of his musta...

They’ll only think that if you think that. Look up drew Lynch’s comedy sketches. Nobody pays attention to his stutter and only focuses on his jokes because HE doesn’t care...

That’s a good advice, thank you. I find that people in medical fields also seem to not understand stuttering, sometimes not even recognize it and just write it off as being nervous. It happened a lot ...

I remember reading about a few kings and lords with a stutter in medieval history. It was extremely cringe because they were known as “*insert name* the stutterer”. Beyond that, I don’t know. Edit: o...

I’m French and I stutter. I rarely have negative experiences about my stutter. Sometimes people might be « bored » because I can’t speak fluently and as fast as normal person but it’s not a big deal :...

Not my experience except maybe Paris. And actually the ones trying to speak to me in English are trying to be nice and think they are helping...

Does stuttering exist in France?

Does stuttering exist in France? I'd like to hear from French residents in particular I was raised in a bilingual household where I speak French and English at a native level. I currently live in Fra...

I think I might be becoming more easy going about my stutter

I think I might be becoming more easy going about my stutter What I mean about that is I’m telling the difference between a light hearted joke to not be offended by and someone mocking me. A joke I’m ...

He may have a stutter but just cause he has a stutter that dosent mean he isn't senile. And it's not a stretch to say that the reason he's babbling soo much now and not before is because he's senile...

Fair enough that's clever. He must make alot if "mistakes" then. If ey was too spel ljk dis, and I was 80 years old then you think I was senile too...

I was just thinking about this so i searched it to see if anyone else talked about it. When i first saw the film, i though oh ok this person stutters. Then later i saw that he faked it and it made me ...

Yes. And... Some people are more biologically wired to feel/notice/believe they are being ridiculed, making your very true advice a very difficult process. and the temporary failures to “let it go...

I'll never forget seeing A Fish Called Wanda and, not knowing there was a character who stuttered, the audience burst out laughing at the character who stuttered. Great movie, btw....

if there are others around who are engaged in the convo, i tend to see them give eachother a look that says "did you notice that? is he okay? haha that was funny"...

Thanks for the encouraging words, I was thinking of saying bout my stammer, but part of the job description was "good communication" lol, I think facing someone I can kind of disguise it a bit bett...
