A lot of comments about stuttering don’t affect as me as much as it did when I was younger. People aren’t trying to be mean, they just don’t understand why you couldn’t finish the sentence, thus they ...

Yeah, it got better - that's very common. Both in that we learn to manage it better but also that we learn to manage our reaction and mood better. At the moment I'm swinging a bit back and forth I gu...

I think I'm like most stutterers who've been stuttering for years and years - sort of comfortable with it most of the time, a bit annoyed at other times, a bit embarrassed at other times. But overall,...

I'm practicing reading aloud and affirmations and sometimes I find myself talking so fluently, it's like I'm not even talking, but words just leave my mouth effortlessly and automatically. And that's ...

It’s hard living with a stutter, I think everyone here would agree. People live with it in different ways. My stutter is mild, most of my blocks are words with hard sounds. Like Facebook, the hard F s...

Its still there but depends on my anxiety and if I think I'm going to stutter, Ill stutter more but It took a lot of practice and going to speech therapy in order to reduce it. Its barely noticeable a...

Recently developed/acquired stutter

Recently developed/acquired stutter Like the title says I recently developed or acquired a pronounced stutter. Over the past 10-12 years I have had a problem finding words, I’d fumble, pause, no sound...

Thanks bro. Stories like yours fill me with hope and i Will start to read out loud for 1 hour a day. I also do not stutter while reading alone and when i do it with other people around i am 95% fluent...

"Getting over stuttering" can mean a couple of things, I suppose. It can mean getting to a place where stutter no longer makes you mad, sad and that sort of thing. It can also mean getting to a plac...

Yup! Your mom is not helping and she needs to know that. She will either change or not, but hopefully she will. I've been on this earth for well over 40 years and I still don't know how to get over i...

My parents were like this for a long time. I dont think they meant anything malicious by it, but they would become obviously frustrated and say similar things. It all stopped one day when I had enough...

My mother had a pretty severe stammer. Growing up with it I can honestly say it doesn't phase me in the least when I meet somebody who has a stammer. Not that I don't notice, obviously but it was such...

Yes, absolutely. That is still one of my toughest situations - when I'm exhausted I feel the urge to stutter massively. My advice is complicated because I don't think there is a magic bullet solutio...

I definitely found "easy onset" effective. It is essentially speaking in a calm manner and slowing down. I know I hate it when people tell me to slow down, but reducing my rate definitely helps and ma...

My friends say they hear it like an accent and don't notice unless I get really stuck. They know it's there and what it is but they don't give it a lot of thought....

I'm sure my kids (several, my oldest is 17) have noticed my speech patterns are a little different, but I've never really talked with any of them about it and it has never been a big deal. My wife say...

I want to preface this as not coming from a political point of view but how can Biden be trusted with regard to him telling stories about his past life? He’s been caught lying about coming from a coa...

Just because someone stutters, it does not mean they are always disfluent. The way he adds fillers to his speeches make me believe that he is adding the words no to avoid blocking. Although I am fa...

Biden isn’t a stutterer. If you go back and look at his speeches and even for example his debate with Paul Ryan he was very sharp and spoke very fluently. What’s happening now with him is clearly co...

What causes stuttering?
