Hi there, nice to meet a fellow Indonesian here. Didn't expect to meet one on this sub haha. Personally I prefer gojek over angkot, because with gojek at least I don't need to raise my voice. Having ...

Hi there! I'm a long time lurker in this sub but never really commented. I'm a 22yo female living in Jakarta. I've only ever met 2 other stutterers and one being my older brother (lol) but he doesn't ...

Don't treat it like a problem. If it's not a problem to her, don't force her through therapy and bring it up to her. Let her develop on her own. If she wants to try therapy, then do it....

She's in therapy in school and private therapy. Sometimes I feel she hasn't found the right match/therapist with private therapy. As her parents, we want to give her every resource/opportunity to help...

Today was my first day at the world renowned Toronto speech and stuttering institute. I have had a stutter since a child, and I just assumed eventually I would grow out of it. Flash forward to now, ...

Sorry for late reply. When I was younger, I had to go for sounds too like L, TH, and SH. When I got around 5th grade I was only there for stuttering and R sounds, and it's been that way ever since. I ...

yeah, i'm currently undergoing a course of it now for the next few weeks! Yeah, that's exactly what i've found, I let the fear of talking to people control me, or the fear of having them judge me ...

You've been in speech therapy since you were 6? Has it all been about stutter? Did you try different therapists?...

You should inform all your teachers that you stutter, if you haven't already. Have you tried speech therapy?...

I'm happy you found something that worked for you. I may have to seek professional help for my anxiety because it seriously controls me. Have you done speech therapy as well?...

Do you know about the [Self Therapy Book](http://www.stutteringhelp.org/portals/english/book_0012_tenth_ed.pdf) by Malcom Fraser? It's worth a try. Also it's free...

Where do you live? It is horrible when people judge and mistreat someone because of a disability. Some people are just jerks. On the bright side, I know many people who stutter and they have fulfi...

I feel obliged to mention r/SuicideWatch. Maybe r/depression too. Have you ever tried speech therapy? Or therapy in general?...

He was in Early Intervention. He had no speech and due to the oral motor disorder (and low tone), he couldn't eat solid food. I think he was on purees almost exclusively until about 2 years old....

yeah, it's severe enough that a ST is required, at the moment. But you're right, it may decrease after a few weeks. It's just such a shock to the system, hearing the little man in so much trouble in...

I'd say give it a little time. He's young enough that he may outgrow it. So far, I did not pass my stutter onto my children, but one of my kids does have a speech disorder (dysarthria). He can't coord...

Hey, so roughly 5% of children stutter and most of them outgrow it. It's not completely abnormal for him to be tripped up when he's learning how to talk. That said, I don't have kids and I'm not qui...

It might. But the withdrawal symptoms are deadly. Maybe look into other anxiolytics like L-Theanine. I did take modafinil before a job interview, but if you don't pace yourself it'll just make things...

I have problems with 's' too. Not always, but often enough that it's a noticeable tendency - it's like it's become stuck over the years. Have you tried speech therapy?...

I was in your spot a couple of years ago. My stuttering was THE determinant of basically how my life went. I realized I couldn't do anything else until I put speech front and center to address it. I t...
