High school can be tough. I don't have many people mock me like that, but I did have a few later in life and I just looked at them like they're a piece of shit and I couldn't care less about them. Any...

Getting made fun of today

Getting made fun of today So today I was sitting in band in a practice room with other band members and one of them asked where I went to elementary school. It starts with an “M” and stuttered on it....

Participated in a model UN debate and dominated the conversation. Feeling proud :)

Participated in a model UN debate and dominated the conversation. Feeling proud :) Moderate stutterer(every third senetence). Fuck I'm so happy. I spoke more times then I can remember to count in fron...

I’m new here, this is the first time I’ve ever been on this sub. I’ve been having a hard time lately with my stutter, and I came here to escape this kind of thing. That being said, fuck you. You’re a ...

but selective mutism isn't a reaction to bullying, either. This is just speculation. we do not have any reports of stuttering emerging as a result of bullying. Stuttering can get worse as a result of...

When SOME people are bullied they can develop a stammer subconsciously as they will be afraid in future situations with people they don't know who may bully them or mock them. I don't have a percent b...

it's impossible to prove a negative (e.g., you don't get stuttering from x y or z). However, from what we do know about stuttering, it emerges between the ages of 3-5. 75% of preschoolers who stutter ...

Put yourself in their shoes. Stuttering is awkward and weird. Fluent people will never understand so you cannot express contempt for them attempting to deal with an awkward situation. I've come to rea...

It's good that you contacted your school's accessibility center. People need to be aware of stuttering and should be patient. I have been trying to disclose my stuttering to people, but it's been real...

Hmm. I wonder what amount of education they got on the subject, though. Identifying a stutter may not always be easy....

I worked with another stutterer, I was his boss. He stuttered much worse than me. Probably one of the smartest people I've ever met. Left my company to be a contract IT (or something like) for the go...

Yes. Though perhaps not as severe as others the fact it is not that understood and accommodated for makes it worse....

I don't know why but for the most part the mocking has stopped. Hasn't stopped some of the, "what's wrong with you" looks though during introductions. ...

That’s still not as bad when they would greet you in the hallway while mocking your stutter......

I had so many people tell me "but that's curable, right?" Yeah if it was 100% curable do you think I would have fucking stuttered all my life? ...

I once met a guy who told me to just stop stuttering. He compared my disorder to his tongue chewing habit. It was all I could do to keep myself from punching him in the face. ...

Thank you for your support! I've only been in 1 situation thus far and my communication partner was very understanding. Other students in my program have not been so fortunate- one was hung up on bec...

It’s a common assignment and it gives you a tiny taste. I’m the mom of a PWS and I’ve done it with the full blessing and utter delight of my son. He was about 6 and he loved every second of it. He c...

In my experience, coworkers, supervisors, interviewers, etc. have viewed stuttering not as the concrete neurological disorder that is actually is, but rather as a mental obstacle that *you* need to ov...

I went to therapy 7 years ago so I was 12 and had to get on the train to London so mum had to come obviously :/ And i can't tell them because I hear them make fun of other people's stutters when the...
