If I'm on the phone with a customer service representative from a phone, internet, etc. company, sometimes they will say that the connection is breaking up. After mentioning that I stutter, they becom...

This has happened to me a few times too, the most recent incident about a year ago. I was ordering take out over the phone, and the restaurant worker said “I’m sorry, but I think the connection is dro...

My speech disorder has caused so many embarrassing moments and misunderstandings. Especially since I've mainly worked in fast food. It makes me want to never speak if I don't have to.

Hey I'm glad you wrote this, I'm a speech pathologist without a stutter and reading your perspective is really helpful for me. I will say in my graduate school experience the importance of stuttering ...

“I did X without stuttering!”

“I did X without stuttering!” I don’t think “doing X without stuttering “ should be applauded as an achievement. It reinforces the idea that stuttering is inherently bad and success = avoiding it. All...

3 grade till 9 grade. Edit: i have some instances where they tried to make fun of me. But I would try to ignore them and to point out them that what they are doing is not good. Other than that they...

Stuttering won't hold me back

Stuttering won't hold me back I stutter since I first started talking. So I have face everything n still facing.. Pitty, being bullied, being made fun of,scoffs, being called good for nothing, loser....

I want to first state clearly: do not mimic stuttering or laugh about stuttering! I endured that growing up. I also had job discrimination due to my stuttering. If you are a public figure and you ...

I can't say im shocked. People don't understand stuttering mate, we're the only knows who understand it and think about it. I go to work with the same people every day and they keep forgetting i stutt...

I saw the clip, and Novah wasn't making fun of his stutter at all. In fact, Biden doesn't seem to stutter in that clip. Novah was making fun of what he was saying and how jumped to different topics in...

As a stutterer I support the continued mocking of Joe Biden....

I kinda wish the manager had punished the employee. There was a story a while back about a Starbucks employee who made fun of a customer with a stutter, and he was fired for it....

Haha that was very cogent for someone who just woke up. I do think that more exposure to stutterers would be good for all of us and society as general. There is a bit more in the media now with Joe Bi...

I work retail and have to answer the phone often. I had some woman call, and I was pretty fluent until the end when she asked my name, I blocked, and she was like, "oh, you forgot your name" and start...

Trevor Noah (October 2019) was first to publicly jump on Joe's speech. No one should mock the stutter! A big memory lapse or gaffe is fair game. Stutters and gaffes have been blended together but ...

I misunderstood what you were saying. Yeah agreed, they're probably making fun of him not knowing it is a disability. They're making fun of the symptoms of having a stutter which comes off as him bein...

Again, I highly doubt they even know about his speech impediment. It is not uncommon to knee-jerk to a hiccup by people in the spotlight :)...

I wouldn't say it's rare. I saw a few YouTube videos from major news networks mocking the way he spoke. And everyone in the comments just went along with it. And I say this as someone that is not a Bi...
