This is the answer. OP, where are you located? And how is stuttering awareness around there? I’m in the southeastern United States, and there is next to zero awareness. I don’t think it’s just my r...

I was told by a girl that she would’ve gone out with me if i didnt talk “weird”. it hurt for a bit but i learned that it wasn’t going to always be like that with everyone....

This guy, although was nice, was actually not so great. I'd be so mad if someone told me I wasn't confident. How rude! Who the hell is he? He doesn't know you. Whenever I encounter someone like this, ...

I was a machinist ! Being a female I thought it was best . I was good at what I did . But the men was cruel...

I'd be careful to not play into a popular cultural storyline that is "woe is me" or anything that would portray us as victims because we aren't. I think there is so much attention on oppressor/oppress...

If that was the excuse to end the relationship then she wasn't worth it for you. I'm 61 I've started most of my life and not once has any relationship ended because of my stutter or because any relati...

Had a girlfriend tell me her parents didn’t want her to marry me because “they didn’t want their grandkids to stutter.” Bullet dodged. I met my amazing wife a few years later. OP, consider this a ble...

Calling people crazy is wild. But I get being frustrated with everything that comes with being a person who stutters. While being in power helps, it’s not everything. It doesn’t always translate in...

OP is crazy but so are you. Advocacy must come from a position of power, and our handicap actively discriminates us from positions of power. The only thing we can reasonably do is band together with...

Ok so interesting. But why? So they can understand us?, but the thing is most of the people don't want to or can not understand other people's struggle, so if everybody wish their struggle to imply on...

Giving Voice to the Invisible

Giving Voice to the Invisible Hey people, sorry to bother. My teacher just asked me if I could participate in the school newspaper. I proposed to write about how invisible disabilities influence the w...

Yeah I haven't thinking about this, but it's very unfortunate and really downplay the entire thing. I guess it's because in my native language we use the terms "stutterer" and "stutter" to slightly di...

And to think that this was never meant for us, they just want to pay less people to work 🫠...

L0l sure, me not being able to land a job because people think you're retarded and unqualified is surely an attitude problem. If it weren't for my family I would be homeless...

I completely agree. No one can realize the pain we're facing until they step into our shoes. I've been criticized negatively that I need to see for roles and designations that are not requiring more o...

I contacted them recently and waited a long time for a reply, only to receive an email of just three sentences. In my message, I had asked if there was someone who could help me learn Dutch — even as ...

Remember too that the teacher who told you to hurry up was bullying you and you never deserve to be bullied....

If trying to “help” means ACTUALLY putting other people down by dismissing other people experiences down and blaming us for a disorder out of our control and spreading misinformation, then I don’t wan...

No, you can’t. How am I pathetic for spreading ACTUAL facts?? We complain we want research done on us, but then literally block away that research being done on us because of imbeciles like you who ca...

It's good that you're speaking out about this. I've noticed it as well. In the discord there's subtle misogynistic sentiments too. As well as the occasional blatant post/idea/thought. I'm not confro...
