I always thought until now that it was officially considered a disability (in Canada at least, where we are eligible for the disability tax credit). I've been thinking about this a lot and what make...

Stuttering should totally be considered as a disability as it affects major life activities on a daily basis. But people think disability is only about a physical impairment...

It really is. It affects your entire life. You have to adapt to it and make adjustments that fluent people don't have to....

I totally agree. I would consider stuttering as a disability due to the fact that it does effect every aspect of your life. The biggest issue I find is that we look normal so people assume we can perf...

I got strep throat a couple years ago. Was physically unable to talk (and barely breathe/drink/swallow). I printed out a little sheet with a lot of words to point at (Yes/No/I'd like/Water/Hamburger, ...

You're not alone my friend. Ive been denied access to bars because someone mistakes my stutter for being too inebriated. I started printing out little business cards that say something like 'i have ...

Hate going to bars or loud places

Hate going to bars or loud places Anyone else absolutely hate going to bars? The amount of times ive been told to leave or i cannot have another drink due to my stutter is really absurd. One time i ev...

I only prefer it from certain people , but often times most people just understand what I’m trying to say without me having to get the words out...

I've thought about that TTS, as well. I think people are more forgiving to those who literally cannot speak. Anything to reduce the stress & embarrassment would be nice. We don't need all this diffic...

You've got to play the hand you're dealt. Just like any other person living with a disability, the world is cruel to us and too them. The best we can do is learn to live with it. Personally, I don't...

It sounds like the cause of your stuttering is very similar to mine, which I also feel is strongly tied to my stomach health. I too benefit from lecithin (and phosphatidylcholine), but another big one...

It’s actually very severe, sometimes I can’t finish my sentence and sometimes the doctors just skip me like I am invisible 🫥 But I talked about it with head of department and he was very supportive, ...

I understand. I’ve been assessed before and told I’m at a 37% fluency, and for most of my life I’ve oscillated between radical acceptance and pits of despair because I know I have to deal with my stut...

I have to just nervous laugh once I get out of my block or sputter whatever like we had been having a jovial interaction whether we had been or not, say oh yeah I talk like this or yeah I stutter haha...

It is a complex issue, it's like being a handicapped and being not a handicapped, questioning a mature would solve our stutterers problems someday. Work on yourself, do what make thinks you that solve...

Be realistic. What are your options? Don’t speak, feel shit and socially anxious? Or feel shit because you spoke and had a severe block ? I mean you are going to feel shit either way. But the second o...

मेरे अधूरे शब्द 2

मेरे अधूरे शब्द 2 मेरी उम्र 32 की हो गई, लेकिन आज तक मैं इस हकलाने की समस्या से जूझ रहा हूँ l चाहे घर के लोग हों या बाहर के हकला को सभी इग्नोर करते हैं l मेरी कई नौकरी भी छूट गईं l ...

Yeah I mean that's one of the main points of stuttering to me lmao....

I am sorry you had to deal with that. Believe me, you’re not alone. I’ve taken so much shit from people because of my stutter that a lot of people will never understand what it’s like. As stutterers, ...

I always looked at it the other way around. My stutter is a blessing because I can right away see who are the people worth my time and who aren’t. Those that don’t have patience to listen to me, or ...
