No worries! Yeah, I can't really fully explain the psychological side as to why maintaining eye contact helped to an extent. Just know that different things work out for different people! All the best...

There's no consensus. I think the idea that stuttering is not a disorder but a neurodivergence is relatively recent but growing. I think it will continue to grow. If everyone in the world stuttered or...

Parent of 1 here. I'm the only stutterer I know in my family - going generations back even. My 20 year old kid is super fluent. Non-stutters don't understand how truly traumatizing that stuttering can...

Stuttering is genetic and therefore can be, but doesn't necessarily is passed on. Even if your child stutters, it does have the big advantage that you probably didn't have: A very close person that ca...

Your worries are perfectly understandable. I think for his sake and your sake, just try to cherish that he'll still grow into someone will full of capability. People can have a stutter but they can st...

That sucks. Cross talk Is really tough. Is it possible to sit somewhere else? Otherwise, the silver lining is that it should get easier after a few weeks if you're doing it all day, everyday. Positi...

Just look past their stutter and continue to talk to them. As someone who used to stutter a lot it was nice to have people who I could feel comfortable with. Over time my confidence improved a million...

Yeah that does sound really condescending and I would probably hate that. I will not be drawing any attention to it. I haven’t been helping with words AT ALL. Like less so than I would in a conversa...

Would it be rude to say I like someone’s stutter? We work in the same industry and talk on the phone a lot but he always apologizes for it. I find it to be really soothing. But I don’t want to be inco...
