I don’t see anything wrong here. It looks to me like they are all laughing (including the guy with the stutter) to make light of the stutter. Once they’ve had their laugh, they stop and are patient fo...

I really dont like this new mindset in speech pathology that is so against trying to improve one’s speech. I’m a 34 year old man who’s had a mild stutter and have never felt shame about it, even as a...

Female stutterer here! I would say mine is mild when I’m avoiding certain words/triggers but moderate with no adjustments on my part. I would say because I’ve always been intense about masking my st...
