I tried to get into the military. They told me, "I don't want anyone who stutters protecting me." This crushed me.

Certainly a stutterer should refrain from applying at a call center or any other customer-facing role (depending on how severe their stutter is). However, I have been rejected outright and discriminat...

“For some reason they class it as a disability” Stuttering is in fact a disability. I’m not sure why so many stutterers try to deny it. A stutterer will inevitably face prejudice, social disadvantage...

Thank you for sharing this. It saddens my heart to hear the media and comedians making fun of Joe Biden's stutter. Would those same folks make fun of a breast cancer patient or someone in a wheelchair...

I saw Biden speak at a NSA conference in Baltimore years back. I was impressed and recognized the work involved to get him where he was a that time. 100% the mocking he gets is for his actions outsid...

Joe Biden Im watching him on TV right now and it's clear he has a stutter. It comes off to other people as him being "slow" and that hurts me because I know no matter how successful I become people wi...

The only example I can think of that isn’t treated as a joke is Bill from Stephen King’s IT. Stuttering gets so little attention and because of that, I think a lot of people see it as something to mak...

You’re not the only one who thinks that. It’s awkward sitting there watching a show or movie with people around you and a character with a stutter begins to be joke of the scene. Sometimes I think it’...
