I work as a dental receptionist, and one of our patients whom I was talking to on the phone thought I was drunk at 9 in the morning. He was very rude about it and it was hurtful. I told the doctor and...

Do strangers sometimes think you are drunk because of your stuttering?

Do strangers sometimes think you are drunk because of your stuttering? It happend to me like 2 times and it was kind of shameful so im just curious did you guys went through a similar situation?...

That orange card is AWESOME. I fully agree with what ur saying. This is not "being nervous, get through this.. u can do it" type of shit. As u said, if the teacher made the blind kid draw, he would be...

I have a coworker who’s keeps making fun at me too. I honestly don’t care. But my younger self would of been devastated....

Like other comments are saying, pointing out anything about a stutter besides “I forget you have one” makes us really uncomfortable. It would be best for both of you if you guys talked about the strug...

Wow, That's actually a smart idea. So if I talk to someone and then notice them making fun of my stutter, they are not a true friend? I'm 16yr btw....

>Have a serious conversation with him about how calling his stutter "sexy" makes him feel. If I had to guess, it makes him feel like you don't understand his lifelong struggles at all. This is th...

Anyone that makes fun of someone’s stutter is human trash...

A huge part of my job is making calls over a radio net for aircraft maintenance. Obviously, the stammer occasionally intrudes so for a long time I would make my radio calls in a Mickey Mouse voice; w...

Bartender cut me off because I was stammering and he thought I was drunk. I recovered and explained that I had a stammer, and was in fact totally sober. He turned white as a ghost, apologized profuse...

Ahh man it is what is. That person (and so many others unfortunately) are just scumbags. I wonder how would everyone react if somebody like that made a joke about a person with another disability like...

I totally agree with you 100. I said in another post stuttering is like the bastard child of disabilities. As in it's nearly forgotten about, I'm sure there is a cure, but with a cure comes how much m...

Everybody in this discussion is here for you. I'm sorry that happened to you. Because of a disability you have. They lowered your grade? No wonder the education system is so fucked up. Feel free to me...

That's how the system is designed. It's to help people who don't really need it. The ones who do get thrown to the side. I just find it hard to believe, we have a satellite in space, that can see a qu...

Thats actually kind of true. Never thought about that. Its true ppl don't give a shit about this disorder. No help from the state what so ever. I was unemployed for 2 years back in the day solely beca...

I'm a doctor. I present every day to patients and to colleagues. You can get through it but you will have hard days. I stutter when I present and some of my colleagues laugh but that doesn't diminish ...

Snowboarding the other day, for insight I am 39, two guys come screaming down the hill and get in a fight in front of me. I break it up, accidentally popping the one kid in the lip. I stuttered afte...

When I was younger and my stutter was worse, I ended up shutting up as people would just talk over me and not wait for me to say what I had to say, these days although I do stutter a fair amount still...

Right. I get it, stuttering can look weird sometimes and be off putting so I try and be cool when stuff like that happens. But after explaining to him I had a stutter and it was just a misunderstandin...
