*I think our problem is we are so scared that people find out that we stammer, more than anything else.* This basically explains my life as well. I hate it when people notice and say "You have a s...

Thank you! Your advice was so on point. I’m definitely trying it next time. I'm replying to your comment now after I got back from the presentation this morning, and honestly… it went better than I e...

You may want to include a section behind the known neurological mechanisms behind it This may dispel the idea that we are nervous or unintelligent. You’re literally fighting with a brain that doesn’t...

That is actually crazy i never thought i’d meet someone with the same exact name and struggle, where are you from if you don’t me asking...

I thought this for all of my teen years and early 20s. Eventually i realized I was creating a self-fulfilling prophecy, and that I only had 1 life, so I needed to live it....

This is a great comment and I fully agree. A lot of people who stutter develop the same responses as people who have complex trauma. This is a brand new thing that researchers are talking about, but ...

i'll give a suggestion that's not a good long term solution: you could use your phone and type out a message in your notes app to communicate with someone. it's not a good long term solution because i...

I’m a stutterer and I can affirm that it gets better as you age. You care less and less what other people think and that really helps with fluency. My daughter is a stutterer too. She’s a freshman i...

You say her stutter doesn’t bother you but what you’re describing often is part of having a stutter. So realize that it does bother you actually....

Stutter no more by Dr. Schwartz got me on the path. A book will be a pointer at best, you have to find your own way. There is no one size fits all with overcoming stuttering....

No idea how it is in India, but I'm in the uk, I changed my name as soon as I reached 18, as I had difficulty saying my surname without making a total embarrassment of myself.. Thankfully I havnt re...

Get Lee’s short book. It’s got tons of useful tips. But the big thing is his philosophy: From years (decades) of stuttering your mind has more reference experiences of stuttering than being fluent. S...

I know where you are coming from. I'm 20 and have a stutter, in high school I was going to go into programming but I realized that I didn't want to do it as a job. When trying to figure out what to do...

yes x100. i think i’d be so much more confident. i try to not to spend too much time thinking about who i would be if i didn’t have it because even though it is tough and i’m still trying to find ways...

Why do people assume I'm dumb because of my stutter?

Why do people assume I'm dumb because of my stutter? I wonder if anyone feels the same, but from my expirience people tend to treat me like I'm dumb or less serious when I stutter. I have had people ...

I’ve had a similar journey. When my stutter got really bad at the end of high school I became more quiet. Now I can mask quite well and I’m somewhat talkative...

I get that. And felts the same way right into my 30s. I’m 40 now so age really does really help. Just ask yourself do you respect people that mock people with other disabilities? because I sure as f...

I’d say so. When I was a kid I was really outgoing and talkative, then my stutter got worse so I was quiet and introverted lot of school. As I got older though my stutter improved so I’ve found a good...

I have come in contact over the years of a lot of covert stutters. I think that they are not comfortable being a person who stutters, as well as encountering other stutters you would think they be rel...

I was painfully shy and introverted before the stutter developed....
