Do I understand that you trying to minimize the problem of stuttering because others have it worse? I think OP is jealous and have right of fake applause, fake tolerance of normal people. How can you ...

I agree. Also Minimal stutterers do NOT understand the suffering that comes with a severe stutter. Minimal people are still accepted as they are fluent but us we are laughed at or on the receiving end...

Not all kids are like that. I went through preschool, primary school, and high-school without any mocking or teasing. At least I wasn't, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who didn't have any problems ...

Part of it has to do with the general public not understanding that stuttering is in fact a disability just like down syndrome or cerebral palsy. I have been personally told that I "didn't" have to st...

My daughter stutters (as do I). One of the best things we ever did for her was to arrange for me to speak to her class each year of elementary school. I’d go in, talk about what stuttering is, talk ab...

I get what you're saying, but I feel like you're really overgeneralizing. Sure, the self-pity and defeatism aren't helping anybody, and the frequency with which it appears here is frustrating. But...

Oh this is a fun one. If they think their comment is witty and funny, I almost always use this as an opportunity to make them feel bad. I’ll fire back with something along the lines of “I stutter. Tha...

Fuck people. And also let's be honest: a lot of users here say that they rarely meet people who stutter. So you know very well about stuttering because you stutter, but where can people get experience...

When people say we should not challenge “poor me” attitudes about stuttering, they are basically saying we should let the bully win. If someone mocked you for your stutter, you would stand up for you...

DS and CP? Really? You think those are in any way comparable to stuttering? You're envious of the applause? If you want recognition, earn it. But don't expect it for simply showing up. Quit crying "...
