Being a PWS in the Workplace and How to Self-Advocate

Being a PWS in the Workplace and How to Self-Advocate Long time lurker, first time poster. This is piggybacking on the post asking the community if their stutter was used against them in a professio...

Yes I have but I only found out later after I had the position for 5 years and I received a better opportunity to go elsewhere. Long story short my immediate supervisor recommended me for the position...

I also moved to a new school in 9th grade, going from 400+ (where I knew everyone) to 2500+ (where I knew no one). I didn't have a single friend for the first two years there because I was too afraid ...

Does anybody else feel super marginalized at work?

Does anybody else feel super marginalized at work? My stutter has been a strike against me with pretty much every employer. The worst thing is that unlike racial or gender bias, it’s much less recog...

My story i guess

My story i guess Ive been lurking this subreddit for a while so i guess it’s time to post. Okay so i have stuttered since i was little but it hasn’t really been much of a problem until last year when...

It can happen that things we pretend stop being useful (perhaps because we get to used to them). Careful that you're not just adding an overhead to your stutter (like with secondary behaviors in gene...

What ultimately helped me the most is to not stress out about it beforehand, don’t try to not stutter and just take your time in saying all the words properly. Speech therapy did nothing for me. Edit...

Thank you. It's a really nice idea, thank you for letting me know about it. It will definitely make a difference. Because it's really difficult to hide my stutter. Thank you so much, I really apprecia...

Everything I hate about stutter.

Everything I hate about stutter. I hate stutter. I hate that I cant order something I like because of shame and end up ordering the first thing on menu that sounds easy to say. I hate that I cant ...

What a great idea. Go for it and enjoy yourself! It could be really helpful if you self-disclose at the beginning, saying something like "I have a stutter, but that's not what I want to talk about..."...

Second this. Instead of editing out every stutter, own it. Smile about it, joke about it. If you get a bad block or make a funny facial expression, ofc you can edit it out but in general I’d say go ‘...

I hate making phone calls because I stutter so badly on the phone. But just keep doing it you will get more comfortable and more fluent....

Make the YouTube channel own your stutter be proud of it. Who cares what the haters have to say....

I used to be as well. Used to spend a lot of my time editing and I just stopped caring....

Hey man i stutter and i do have a you tube channel !! you definitely can do it and what i do is edit the parts out and redo parts where i stutter, what helps is making a script and then sticking to it...

Lucky for you, there’s something called editing. You can edit your videos to make it seem like you’re speaking fluently by cutting out blocks/stutters, though you will need a PC to do that. Lmk if you...

I used to stutter really bad in loud situations like bars, concerts, etc. Would be really awkward when I'd lean into a dude's ear to say something, have a block, and just be standing there a couple in...

I understand that feeling. I have been using this phrase for a year and it has given me a strange confidence: "Feel the fear and do it anyways"....

Just do it!!! I started 2 years ago and I'm having so much fun. Who cares if you stutter!!!! Go have fun!!!...

I say just do it! I just started streaming on YouTube and I screw myself daily with something! As long as you’re having fun that’s what matters!...
