I’m not a PWS, just a mom. Feel free to take my words with a grain of salt. I don’t have the btdt experience. Talk to the dean, talk to the professor. Offer to do the presentation twice- once just i...

I don't stutter. A friend who does once set me this challenge. It's the first and only moment I've been really able to imagine how it feels, even for an instant. Because, like your wife, the challenge...

I feel that. Never watched the King's Speech (although I've heard it's fantastic) because it really hurt me to see him struggle in the trailers. I think stutterers just feel connected with other stutt...

I agree. Join a stuttering support group. You are not alone and there are groups of people who don’t judge. You don’t have to hide. Your stutter can become a source of strength, not shame. ...
