Pretty fucking bad. RE your comment about stuttering cannot be eliminated: That's what I was told by a speech therapist many years ago...quite a narrow outlook in my opinion. ...

We are told by all speech professionals that stuttering cannot be eliminated, only managed. How bad was your stuttering at its worst?...

Hello chaz. Do you still stutter at this point in your life? Like if someone met you on the street would they ever pick up that you had a stutter? If you do still stutter, how would you rate the sever...

It might have helped. It's hard to say. But you shouldn't compare us directly in that regard. I've no idea how to rate my stutter on a scale. It varies a lot how much it influences my speech, and I d...

So stutter therapy didn't help you much ? On a scale of 1-10 how bad is your stutter ...

Update #3 on my journey to (hopefully) getting disability

Update #3 on my journey to (hopefully) getting disability Quick recap, I applied for disability for my stuttering, I went for the interview and now have just been waiting to hear back. Here is my last...

Not being taken seriously because of my stutter.

Not being taken seriously because of my stutter. Nobody seems to take me seriously. I have a stutter on a scale of 1-10 is a 7. Long breaks and pauses and stammers during my sentences. Lots of hand ge...

That is so relatable. I always had speech therapy during the school year and then you obviously have a summer break. It would always get a little worse over that break. I know it is very frustrating. ...

I started to go like in winter. Afterwards in summer I'd gone on vacation and she too. Too sad, that I couldn't make me complete all "homework" that she gave me to do :( And now I started to stutter m...

Yes and no. I have ups and downs with it. When it feels like my stammer is getting better, I feel happy that I'm more fluent but at the same time, I consider my stammer a part of my personality so it ...

My stutter has gotten better! (update)

My stutter has gotten better! (update) So, I'm going to college this year (freshman) and my stutter has gotten better. I have been able to order at at restaurant or coffee shop with mostly little to n...

I've stuttered since I was a little kid so they've heard it plenty of times....

I think stutter can vary so much that we can never quite anticipate a set pattern. But once we've recognized that, I think we may be able to be less surprised by the variance, which might help manage ...

It poses different problems but yes, I would say schizophrenia is more difficult to live with. That still doesn't make me change my mind about that person with schizophrenia (or anything else) being...

You can't say that after agreeing to my last point. Neither of us (presumably) experience either schizophrenia or "5'8ness" yet we can make a clear judgment on which one is worse. ...

Ok true. So you can't say stuttering is worse or more difficult than something else if you're not experiencing it. ...

>I think you can't say one thing is more difficult than another thing. That's completely untrue - you can make sense of these things. If one person has schizophrenia and terrifying hallucinations ...

See, there goes your whole point. You're saying stutterers have it more difficult than most people but *a lot* of people have a lot of different difficult things that could make their life pretty hard...

do you think that people with schizophrenia have it more difficult than other people (the general population?) how about amputees?...

I am not saying it is or isn't, I'm saying I think it is unfair to other people to say that by definition stutterers have it more difficult than other people. ...
