Yeah, in those situations when they repeat my order incorrectly, I pretend like I'm not sure about it so I can repeat it without acting like it was their fault. For example: Cashier: "Milk and Sugar,...

Nothing wrong with stuttering while ordering. If it helps though, you can carry a small notepad and pen and write out your order before you go up. I used to do it before I was able to control my fluen...

Not on its own, but neither will slowing down or speaking like a robot. You don't want to talk like that anyway. Rate of speech likely isn't going to affect it that much one way or another....

Fuck it man. Stutter. When ordering food, stutter through it. It’s not worth buying something you don’t want. The person taking your order usually doesn’t care that you stutter. And it’s literally the...

Speak however that you want to speak. Every PWS is different and when I block, I stop, breathe and then carry on. A game changer for me is that I now focus on living and not my stutter. Once I di...

It depends but generally SLOW. Sometimes you are speaking FAST and not stuttering at all and that is good but it's only happening because you found the right rythem, if something stops that rythem y...

I always try to speak slowly but sometimes I forget and then when I'm almost out of breath by the end of the sentence I remind myself that such way of talking doesn't bring any good to anybody.. so I ...

Slowly. Whenever I stutter, I just stop and take a breath then continue speaking. It helps to continue my flow and calm myself....

Slowly IMO. I have been practicing this technique: When I know I am about to stutter, I stop and take a deep breath through the nose, think about the word I am trying to pronounce as calmly as possibl...

I have already to been speech therapy like I said in my post. ( not trying to be rude just saying :) ) I already asked my mom to schedule the appointment to see if they can help me. I haven’t tried th...

Lots of people struggle to transfer fluency techniques from practising with a therapist or on their own to the “real world”. This is usually the hardest part of therapy. Stuttering tends to be worse ...

Why can’t I use my techniques around my friends and family?

Why can’t I use my techniques around my friends and family? So, I obviously stutter; but lately it’s been getting worse and I don’t know why. Now, my parents, friends and girlfriend know I stutter and...

I'm working on a book about stuttering at the moment, so I've been reading a lot. (I also have a stutter, for what it's worth, and I'd qualify my stutter as "successfully managed.") If you stutter pas...

I practice a stuttering modification technique called easy onset. When we get stuck on a word our vocal folds close so one way to open them up is to slowly build up vibration in the vocal cords. So le...

I sing in my car like it's going out of style. Also have taken singing lessons. Both seemed to help me with managing air flow and loosening my throat. Of course, it could be placebo but I'm good wit...

It probably sounds kind of counterintuitive and like it might be disheartening, but I’m mostly self-taught, and I’ve always thought that doing tongue twisters helped me a lot. I don’t do them with a...

Yes 100% man, this is my experience and a lot of other peoples too The technique just stopped working for me completely, and I feel I can't even express myself when I use it The connectedness and co...

My experience with the McGuire program

My experience with the McGuire program I attended the McGuire program this fall, where we learned a lot of techiques. I practised it frequently and talked to my coach almost everyday for about a two-t...

I use my Google Home to practice speaking and using techniques. I find it to be a good practice tool when no one is around or I don't want to annoy my family by talking their ears off....

Exercise helps, but there is still no “cure.” It will be a part of dealing with life as a stutterer, it helps, but don’t expect it to ever go away by doing one thing or a collection of things....
