Thank you all for your comments and for sharing your experiences. I have read through each and every one of it. It's my first time posting in this sub and I am really heartened by how encouraging this...

I am the one who trains new staff so I take my anxiety and TURN it into EXCITEMENT. I do have my bad days but I have learned to change them into positive ones (I dont mean to sound like a cliche but...

Everyone is different and follows their own path as a PWS. When I turned 40, I made a conscious decision to face my stutter and embrace it. Every challenge, wall or conflict I encountered, I faced ...

I’m not even a PWS and intros were always the worst in school for me, so I applaud you! And try to remember that while you’re doing your intro, everyone else is half listening just thinking of what th...

I am very happy for you, because I know this feeling very well. I am in relationship for 7 years and I can stutter and have as many blocks as I want to the person next to me and he still loves me....

Our first date was a blind date and it was very apparent when I stumbled on my name. It was love at first sight and we've never looked back. When I have a block, she just looks into my eyes and wait...

Good for you. I think you’ll find your stutter doesn’t really factor into love interests. Socially, other people in general just don’t care....

Well I’ve met some great people joined this subreddit which led to me joining the discord and getting to know a lot of people there so it’s not all bad...

My son is very empathetic and just looks in my eyes supporting me as I go through a block. When I've completed my thought, we just resume our conversation. (I am truly blessed)...

Having my stutter for 43 years has taught me empathy. I look at the world differently than everyone else and I have to find alternative ways to communicate if I have a block. At 48, I could care les...

Is it really fair?

Is it really fair? I read a lot about people who get very upset or offended when they are "unintentionally mocked" or when someone who is ignorant makes a big deal out stuttering. I am one of those as...

If he has a noticable block in his speech and seems frustrated and embarrassed, it would be great to say something like , "I just want to let you know that doesn't bother me- you don't have to be frus...

I would not make a big deal of it, when the time is right he will tell you. If he stutters, just keep eye contact and show him that you are empathetic. It worked for me and we'll be celebrating ou...

IMO Would be cool if you talk to him, I would make me feel much more confident to speak to the person. ​...

I see. I stutter but I'm very open about it and I like to talk to people even though I struggle pronouncing some consonants. Do you have classes together? Try to study with him and get to know him mor...

I think any person who stutters would be grateful to see another person who stutters. Let's him know he is not alone. I usually walk up to people and say "Hey, how's it going?" Then let him know you a...

Just befriend him; I'm sure he will know that its genuine and he'll be relieved knowing he has a friend who's in the same boat. I wish I had that when I was in school. The first time I met another s...

Thank you very much for sharing your story. It feels super great and inspiring knowing that people are out there living their lives despite stuttering and putting themselves through situations using s...

That approach is becoming more old fashioned and out of date. My personal opinion is this is what speech paths do when they don't know better and this is the only thing they were taught. I'm willing t...

I love this! What a great experience for your son. There is something special about meeting someone else who stutters. ...
