The journey to learn and internalize that it's ok to stutter in a society where it is still stigmatized....

Plz don't take her to speech therapy with the goal to "remove her stuttering." Yes, stuttering is a struggle but you can live a relatively normal life with it and learn to accept it and the struggles ...

Yep. Took me a lot of speech therapy (with "therapy" being the key word of accepting it) to get over the "wish I was in my bed alone rn" thoughts and more of a "oop let's try to forget about that" (im...

I was one of the kids where no therapy helped at all. Heck, I really didn't even understand why I was in therapy until middle school. I didn't really notice my stutter because until I had encountered ...

Oh yeah I've thought about this many many times. I'm convinced my life would be vastly different if I didn't stutter but I don't think I'd use the word "cruel" to define it. I'm completely at peace wi...

You have to understand a speech therapist cannot just remove a stutter as there is no known cure. Hopefully she can feel comfortable enough that it doesn't feel severe and is just a minor bother here...

You got to be kind to yourself. You didn't get here by choices you made. There's no fault to be laid at your feet. Every time you put yourself out there knowing that you might stutter is a goddamn ...

Hello, fellow female, haha!! I agree it's very werid to be the minority gender with a a disability that affects even a smaller number of people. But we're at least 3 strong, and that's something!!...

Yep, I feel this on a deep level lol. I work for an insulation/fiber glass company, so instead of servicing different customers everyday, we have the same consistent client base that comes in every mo...

Support your daughter and also teach her it’s okay to be different!!!! I stutter and I’ve achieved way more in my life than my peers 💝 you’re already an awesome mom for seeking guidance!...

I have been stuttering for 40 years, the only advice I can give is encourage her to never let it hold her back. There are many famous successful people in history who have had some form of speech impe...

A very familiar story. I was also pretty outgoing. Stutter never stopped me from talking too much and annoying my teachers haha Sometimes I wish I had smooth speech. Most times I think stuttering, and...

It’s funny, because the things you mention you are doing now are things normal people do without effort. Lovely to hear that you have made it this far!...

Just stutter it out. It isn’t fun, but its honest work....

I'm fluent enough that today I went out of my way 4 times today to talk to people I didn't need to talk to. I had a handful of job interviews in the last months, and had no fear about my fluency, ha...

Hi Benny, This is super common. Your name is tough because you only use it when you’re meeting someone new, and that’s a challenging situation for people who stutter. You’re worried what they’ll think...

A lot of people stutter, myself included. I’ve been stuttering for nearly a decade. I’m great talking one-on-one, but in a virtual call I stutter a lot too. Its kind of weird. Some days I stutter a l...

Agree with this. I have done this several times. Keep it light and keep rolling straight into the next topic from there. It helps ease tension in room and for you to relax. Good luck. Kick ass....

Just saw your post, and I was going to tell you that I think many ppl here are young males, many non-Americans. I’m an young Gen x female, fwiw. Very glad you are here! There are ways to trick your...
