I don't have any advice for you, I just want you to know I'm going through the same problem and frustrations as you. It's tough, but we can't let our stutters prevent us from achieving the goals we've...

Thanks! That’s a really good idea, to inform your teachers about your struggle and tell them that it’s hard for me to deal with all the stress and it just makes me very anxious and uncomfortable. Real...

Thanks, that’s helpful to know. It’s great there are places like this to share stories with others. I’m always surprised how few other people I come across who stutter day to day - considering it’s me...

I like your question. I kind of feel that's how this subreddit works. It's just people who stutter talking to people who stutter. I'd like to hear less from SLPs and more from people who stutter. I li...

I've never looked online for help, because I'm more of a hands on person, but it always frustrated me every time I went to a SLP clinic, not one of them had any speech problems. It also infuriated me ...

I went to last year's and it was a really cool experience. The first day is such a sensory overload from meeting so many stutterers. You'll sleep like a baby after that day, hah. It's really strange b...
