Problem for me is the perception people have towards stuttering. Most people do not consider it a disability. They see it as a weakness that you have yet to overcome. If you're mute or deaf nothing o...

Like others have said, when stuttering is used as a prop for comic relief, I find it very offensive. Especially if that character is made to look incompetent. My Cousin Vinny for example. If you haven...

I felt the same way about A Fish Called Wanda and could hardly watch it -- though I found out later that Michael Palin's father had a severe stutter, and that's who he based the character on. Palin is...

I think you're right. Something like 1% of people stutter -- that's a huge amount. Yet it's usually only portrayed as a story device of some kind. More representations which just *are* would be really...

there's an episode of Shameless (uk version) where Steve ( a brother to a side character) appears and has a sever case of Touretts syndrome. He also stutters a lot, which the other characters make fun...

Stuttering is normally portrayed for either comedy or character development. "Ha ha stuttering is funny and means the character is stupid" probably needs no further explanation, it's bad. I also don...

What are your thoughts on how stuttering is portrayed in TV shows and films, and how it's perceived by the general public?

What are your thoughts on how stuttering is portrayed in TV shows and films, and how it's perceived by the general public? I'm just wondering if anyone thinks we've made any progress. Can anyone think...

Not a black woman but I do have something to say about stuttering among black people. I often find that black people tend to make light of my stutter the most. For ex, they'd see me struggling trying ...

Why u think there’s not enough representation of stuttering in media? Is it because if stigma or something?...

Good to hear that you were encouraged and people were supportive of it but here it's totally a different scenario. Here, they wait to comment on one other (although it's a religious gathering) I'd rat...

See this would be great to believe but unfortunately, many good awesome people have rejected me for it. It is what it is...

Yeah, he makes sometimes fun of it and asks dumb questions but I don't mind. For example: "Do you also stotter when you think?"...

I feel like if people didn’t perceive it as a negative I wouldn’t be feeling depressed about it. It’d just be a part of me. Unfortunately I’ve been mocked for it by my own friends. Its hard to forget ...

I, too, have come to this realization over the past few years. The vast majority of people (not only girls) don't care if you stutter as long as you don't care that you stutter. In fact, I think it sh...

Yeah they know. I love talking to people. IMO stuttering is the only disability people laugh about. Luckily people never bullied me about my stutter. In fact, I talk the most now in my class ( on the ...

Wow, he was very honest. I know that must’ve hurt but at least he gave you the opportunity to set the record straight. Yeah I’m sure they think they’re doing the right thing but they don’t realize ho...

I've had one guy flat out tell me he avoids talking to me because of my stutter, because he doesn't want to make me struggle like that. He was just being overly honest, but it's obvious other people...

Honestly? You learn to not give a fuck. You'll always have those that seek to tear you down, the secret that took me a long time to learn was that their ability to do so was directly proportional to ...

This happens Try to not overthink and make the situation bigger in your head, they prob laughed but most of them already forgot about it You cant change the past so make the future better...

I wouldn't say that to someone who stutters. Girls have told me it's "cute" when I stutter and I don't like it. They have no idea the torment I go through to get a word out. That's like telling someon...
