I dont have ADHD i have autism but I don’t think stuttering has anything to do with ADHD. even when I am incredibly calm and trying to speak well my speech sucks. When i‘m excited it’s bad of course b...

Thank you for sharing. Adderall vs Vyvanse was explained to me by a doctor, but I forget now. Glad you are getting such good results:) The adhd diagnosis was a big eye openener for me and made me u...

Maybe try starting off a class by saying you have a stutter and it’s something that makes you unique and you are sure that many people in the class have things that make them unique? Kids are mean, an...

Your feeling I believe is fairly common for people that stutter. What’s actually great though is that you have recognized the power of speech in a way that the average person likely hasn’t. The same...

Your stutter doesn't make you any less "normal" maybe it's time you stopped trying to change yourself and let others change for you. You are normal. You are loved. You are smart. And your stutter does...

Can't stop thinking about suicide

Can't stop thinking about suicide 20F. Did you have such thoughts? I need to vent a little bit and need an advice what to do in my situation. Stuttering is getting more and more severe all the time de...

Yep, there are many types of media that induce a variety of emotions. I’m glad I generalized it’s as well haha One piece is very fun, maybe not from the very start, but it picks up. Everyone gets hoo...

Agreed. Media (I like how you generalized because I also get these feelings from music and art too) really is crazy in that way. And I’ve been meaning to get into One Piece as well. I have a whole...

Oh I see. It’s amazing how we can relate to media, such as the berserk manga in your case. For me, it’s one piece. I started reading it in 2019 during a year when I wanted to strive for more, and it’s...

Just because I have a very special attachment to Berserk that helped me through a dark time. It’s probably dumb to take inspiration from fantasy (I know it actually isn’t once you realize there are so...

Jimmy is also one of my favorite representations of stuttering in media, and the fact that my real name is also Jimmy lol...

Exactly! And it pisses me off even more how he only tended to openly talk about stuttering during the election, so basically in order to provide the public a feel good story to help get him elected....

Yes I get your point. Biden is a typical example, says he used stutter but clearly still struggles with it, and would rather pretend he forgets words than admit he stutters. Not a role model at all. ...

He's not a stutterer lol. Find me a video of him stuttering from 20 years ago....

I understand why you interpret it that way, but that wasn’t my intention. I was just trying to point out how people in these two marginalized groups (stutterers and African-Americans) tend to feel tha...

I’d say he kind of fits into both the more negative camps I mentioned. He fits into the celebs who have overcome their stutter camp that I mentioned because he typically speaks fluently, and when he s...

Yeah, not really best analogy, but I get what you mean. Unironically, Jimmy from South Park is one of my favorite representations or a stutter in media. He has a stutter, but he owns it, and never tr...

Representation of Stutterers in the Media

Representation of Stutterers in the Media Have you guys ever noticed how all the “representation” we have in the media (celebrities who stutter, films like the King’s Speech, etc.) all seem to focus ...

As someone who IS a "truly" severe stutter, this is offensive. This reeks of self loathing and projection. This is a SUPPORT group and we are in this together. I have personally known people who stu...

I think that it is good to acknowledge your disability first. Most of the people really don't know anything about stuttering....
