New Podcast Episode: Interior Designer Shares Her Journey with Stuttering, Self-Acceptance & Empathy Hey everyone 👋 I just dropped a new episode of my podcast *Stutter Chats*, and this one really hi...

Yes I do. I even considered changing my first name because of it. If it is a group I will share that I stutter with someone (who seems safe) and ask them to introduce me. I...

Share Your Recent Positive Speaking Experiences!! Hey Fellow Stutterers! I would love to see some positive speaking experiences that people have had over the past few weeks-months. I often see a lot...

Is it best to tell them at the start of the interview or send an email requesting the recruiter to inform them of it before? A lawyer gave me advice and told me to do the latter....

Lucky you have the opportunity at all. I have only had a couple jobs exceed a year because people are awful. No matter what I do! The only thing I can do for an interview is drive around a little be...

Counterintuitive but you should really tell them what's happening so they don't assume/wonder/make their own weird assumptions. If you own it, they'll be more comfortable...

Speaking on the phone used to be impossible for me as a teen, but no longer is as an adult for some reason. What I would recommend based on what I know now, and hindsight, is that disclosing your stut...

Are you in the UK? I'm thinking if I should disclose stammering at an interview or in my application form. Correct me if I am wrong: In the UK, if you do not tell your employer about your stammer,...

You could write up a short statement that says "I stutter" and give it to the optician "I can't say the letters W, R, or L. If I see one of those letters, I'm going to say 'banana' (or 'zorro', or w...

i would definitely be weirded out by that. i understand why they did it but still odd, i’m sure they had good intentions. if you feel like you want to say something don’t be embarrassed to! they might...

“We all stutters sometimes” is annoying and I explain that it a speech impediment. But “I’m also a stutterer” is more tricky because some people are but it doesn’t show except in certain situations....

Please be aware that everyone who speaks occasionally has repetitions, and within lay society, stutter is used to refer to speech bumps without any emotions attached to the bumps. It’s not an attempt...

Haha, that's what I suspected, the word doesn't seem to mean a clinical condition to everyone. I've used speech disorder sometimes but wasn't sure if it was "ok". I think I'll def use speech impairmen...

"I understand everyone makes small stutters in their speech, but I have a legitimate speech impediment and it's a bit different than common talking mishaps" but said in the "gentle parent" tone. Hope ...
