>I am not a person that confronts people with their behaviors towards me. You have to become that person at some point if you want to deal with the bullying. It’s not easy, I still struggle with it s...

If you're in a workplace with hr, go to the HR department. Maybe if that doesn't work, just try and avoid this person. Nothing is worth getting into an argument over, and if you're anything like me, y...

So what. I do this multiple times a day at home, work, urgent meetings, etc. People will stop to listen if they want to hear what you need to say. And if they don’t want to wait, it’s ok to cut of...

Stuttering seems like drunk driving? That’s a new one. Exaggerating much! I live in a conservative red state with racist cops all around. I’ve been pulled over quite a few times. Yes I have stutte...

In this very thread you can find people who have been accused of drunk driving and other things due to their stuttering. This is not an attempt to gain empathy from the officer. It is to inform what...

Are you mute or you can speak? Even if you are stuttering (unless it’s really messed up), I am not seeing a valid reason to hand out a note. The moment you start fumbling over words, cop will know w...

Hmmm interesting.. didn't know they had this.. a majority of police I ran into weren't super a-hole after I told em I stuttered. Did have two close calls tho. I'm glad nothing happened to you during...

I'm not following your logic here. This is effectively a slip of paper that explains to a police officer why you are having trouble communicating. It is not a resource that we would be taking away fro...

As someone with autism and a stutter, I'd use one of these for the stutter but not the autism. Stuttering is extremely misunderstood and cops think you're lying and/or intoxicated if you're stuttering...

Do not sit, movie around and own the ROOM. you are in control, make some jokes. You are in control of the whole thing...

I love this. I have a 'stutter' card that basically tells them I stutter and what they can expect when communicating with me. Thankfully I haven't had to provide it yet. I have a couple in my wallet....

Sooo as a black woman PWS, I would love if this were a thing for me locally. I understand why people wouldn’t be too keen about it, but my biggest fear is that the cop thinks I’m nervous or being susp...

Do you have a link to that card? I've had police accuse me of drinking and driving, so yes, I agree, this would come in handy....

The National Institute for Stuttering has a card that you can request to place in your vehicle if you are stopped by the police. I've used it once, and I was given a warning. I did a podcast show a...

Follow your passions. Be upfront, advocate for yourself. Believe that what makes you different doesn’t have to make you worse. It’s mental. Not easy, but possible....

Same, makes meetings a pain. I usually just advertise that I stutter, then just let it come....

Yeah I feel that too. I went for a job interview few days ago and I made it clear to my interviewers that I stutter and one of them acted so awkward throughout the entire interview while I honestly wa...

I agree to some extent, but have grown tiresome of dredging up the past and coming across as self-absorbed. I put it out there merely as a warning that I may speak differently if we are about to begin...

I suppose it's a good experience in a sense that it demonstrates how others see and react to us when we struggle. No sane person is judging or hating us for our stutter. It's just an inconvenience and...

Nothing mate feel bad about it , try to speak normal & fail , try more, fail. repeat. its great if you can achieve the mental state where you realize how we speak is not matters it's actually what are...
