I’m in my 40s. Severe stutter. Some weeks I can’t get a sentence out. I’m thrice married, have wonderful young-adult children getting ready to start college and I work a job with tons of communication...

You overcome stuttering by learning to accept it. My stutter will always be there in some capacity but it occupies much less of my headspace now in my 30s than it did when I was younger. The more expo...

Heavy stutter from until age 13/14, then 95% stutter free....

I didnt overcome it (nobody does), but pretty damn close. I had a mid to heavy stutter groing up (varied depending on sleep and social setting). As I went through highschool, college and early car...

I think my stutter could have been overcome, or at least improved dramatically, with very early intervention as a kid. Unfortunately, that's not how my parents rolled. I'm 53 now and resigned to just ...

Stuttering sucks, and there is no getting around that. My experience is that the stuttering does not get better, but you just stop caring as much. I have a job (researcher) where I somewhat frequently...

I’m a speech language pathologist that is a clinic director at the place I work at. I had a bad day fluency wise today. Stuttered talking to my employees. Stuttered talking to patients and their famil...

I have to a degree. Up until I was about 20, I couldn't get two words out in a row. I went back to speech therapy (free in Australia) and that helped a great deal. It was still prevalent but in mayb...

Spent 40+ years experiencing this. And then one day… No issues. Now it’s my phone number that’s vexing me. I can do it, but only with great effort and only if I break it up into chunks....

I think severe stutterers are under represented compared to the mild stutterers...

Stress, nervousness, anxiety will all cause stutter to be worse. That’s almost 100% true. Stutter does fluctuate. It will be less or more. In my son’s case he does not repeat words or sentences, he ge...

Some people are disabled (formally or informally) by their stutter. Some are not. The DSM explains more about how anxiety and avoidances are a main deciding factor of whether or not someone is impa...

I'm 36 now and I think I'm wayyy less fluent than when I was younger. My theory is I'm not talking nearly as much as I used to. I'm an over the road truck driver so I'm always alone. I don't really ha...

Yes.. I accept the nuance. I've seen some very overt stutterers and the challenge is immense....

I'd say it's closer to: those who don't stutter severely enough that it outright prevents them from doing things, and those whose do....

Living life. I have a wife, kid, great job, house, friends. My stuttering became a lot better the last few years but I also had all of that during the years were my stuttering was very severe....

Stutterers speaking pace

Stutterers speaking pace I (17) have a mild stutter. I usually speak about 2–4 words per breath, sometimes more. My pace changes a lot; sometimes I talk a bit fast, sometimes really slow. When I do sp...

I feel you my stutter has gotten so worse this year, we can talk if you want...

Everyone speaks with some repetitions and prolongations. Sounds like he has slightly more, and his ability to communicate isn’t impacted at all. FYI - I believe in order to be now diagnosed per the ...

That’s awful to hear. I experience the same thing daily. It’s an AWFUL way to live! I’m surprised that I made it this far in life (I have an apartment , my own car and a few jobs .)....
