I think a scene showing how frequently many stutters have to be concious of their speaking/techniques/etc could be powerful. I speak to friends, colleagues, and even family and when it becomes clear t...

Observations after becoming an ESL teacher and learning another language. Hey, I've always wanted to share my thoughts on this since I've thought it was interesting. Before college, I wasn't fluent wh...

As a blocking stutterer I'll have to try this. I've spent decades editing what I plan to say to avoid blocking. I must say that thinking about what I say has meant that I possibly speak in a more arti...

I also never really agreed with the idea that the stutter doesn't define me. If I'm being honest, most of the decisions I've made were based on some voice in the back of my head constantly doubting if...

This is a super interesting question that I think has many facets. As humans we are very complex. We have so many areas to develop that end up defining us. A lot of people are defined by their careers...

Oh my gosh I am guilty of this-- I have very severe ADHD and I have to actively stop myself from "helping" with the word. Now that my stutter is so bad I can see the other side of the road, and I real...
