Just got accepted into a speech therapy post-baccalaureate program! I struggled with stuttering and pronunciation issues all my life. I didn’t realize it until recently. I’ve mastered my stuttering fo...

Haven't heard of him, but he sounds a bit like a shady salesman. You cannot quantify fluency with such specificity without it costing you accuracy. If I was to derive the cure, I wouldn't try so hard ...

I think testing implies a temporary challenge, but stammering for most people is long term… like there’s no way to complete the test or “prove” yourself with stammering, it’s just a life long disabili...

I can also go long stretches being fluent to the point that people wouldn’t think I stutter. And some people have said I don’t but I know I do. For me it’s like my being gay and autistic. I don’t an...

Alter ego helps me, see yourself as a the main characters in movies when they always know how to captivate the room, I always used real actors as a big inspiration to my confidence, become an actor wh...

This, 100% ☝️☝️. I'm a person who stutters, and I appreciate this...

Yes, I accept it as a disability. It kind of gives me a different perspective. I actually never accepted that I have a limitation when it came to speaking but lately I have accepted that fact and feel...

I know people with stutters that would not be considered mild, but don't they feel stigmatized by them and just talk, taking as much time as they need. They do not feel disabled and live very full liv...

Trouble with being "respectful"?

Trouble with being "respectful"? Wondering if anyone else has a similar experience. No matter who I talk to, whether it's a friend, classmate, work colleague, my boss, parents, etc. I always talk in p...

Yes and no. I can always eventually say what I want, sometimes it just takes a while... I try not to think of myself as disabled, it's better just to accept your stutter as a quirk and not to let it b...

Have you ever come to a decision that you have realized that your speech is a disability?

Have you ever come to a decision that you have realized that your speech is a disability? I find it difficult to accept that my stuttering left me with a solution that I have to accept that I am a per...
