What do you usually say to gently let them know? Ideally I'd want to clarify that I have ongoing difficulty speaking, and it's not just nerves, but I don't want to add weight to the conversation....

I stuttered disruptively in my teens and my twenties. It was extremely traumatic for me as I know it is for everyone who stutters. I’ve worked very hard to put myself in situations where I had to lear...

I usually tend to let it slide, but if it's a person I know a bit better or am around often, I gently let them know that they are not speech disabled like I am. Sure, everyone stutters sometimes, but ...

My confidence got a lot better as I got older and I feel this the most important thing. I think my speech has generally improved but it is really hard for me to judge. I was so self-conscious growin...

Treat him like you would anyone else, let him take his time speaking, don't bring up the stutter unless he does, and try to subtly reassure him that you don't mind his stutter, like you've been doing ...
