"I stutter just the same now as an overt stutterer as I did when I was covert... Only less and not for quite as long" - this is exactly what I was trying to convey. You just said.. you stutter the sa...

I don't think there's misinformation per se. It might be a different in interpretation to what the OP is experiencing, but I was just giving my 2c on what it seemed like to me. The OP says he has av...

Not much advice to offer, but I just wanted to let you know that your post and comments here could've been written by me. The covert block stuttering, 10x worse in "official situations", fluency when ...

Thanks for clearing that up. I stutter just the same now as an overt stutterer as I did when I was covert. Only less and not for quite as long....

Hello! Speech Therapist here! There seems to be some misinformation. Covert vs Overt stuttering has absolutely nothing to do with the type of dysfluency. If a person who stutters is covert it mea...

I deal with block stutter a lot too. It's so frustrating when I'm listening to a bunch of people talking and I want to say something but I just can't get it out. It's probably the reason why I keep to...

Yes I block stutter all the time. Sometimes it's helpful cause people may not notice when I get stuck, but other times (especially with bigger blocks) I just wish I did the repetitive stutter cause th...

Definitely great advice to be open with a stutter, I'm gonna do that with my new job if I ever stutter - thanks for the link! I brought it up in the interview, so head management know already. The imp...

This is an overt vs covert stutterer issue. Overt stutters do the repetitive starts, while covert stutters do the silent blocks. I'm a covert stutterer. I'm very good at it too. I'll block, word r...

il be the odd one and say no bc there have been so many times where my speech impediment made me talk less and listen more and the outcome was definitely in my favor simply because i said nothing or v...

That's absolutely awful. I'm sorry they are doing this to you. I have had a stutter my whole life (37) and I've never received treatment like that, not even in the military. I'm pretty sure its illega...

This has reminded me of when I was in the swimming team in my teens. One time, before we got in, the instructor asked for a volunteer to help her with something. I was a teacher's pet so I would have ...

If you don't notice your self stutter it's not really your problem haha I wish I didn't notice mine. I sometimes don't notice when I'm talking with my friends or my wife. People that I know understand...

What really helps me is to not care. I’ve read somewhere that the more you care about your stutter and try to prevent it, the more you stutter. And vice versa. If you go in knowing that you may stutte...

It might take time...the older I get the less I care about what people think of me and my quirks. I really just don't care anymore. Good luck!!...
