Son is 4 years old, speaks with a large vocabulary without a stutter that isn’t age-appropriate (in my opinion) but lately started hanging on and having a hard time with the word “Can” and that’s the only word.

I agree with everything you said but I just can't help myself but feel miserable anytime I can't control my stutter in a social setting. I try to be positive and convince myself that my stuttering doe...

> You know what? That could even be true! I am super shy and not open enough and it's all BECAUSE OF my stutter! I would be a completely different person if it weren't for my stutter! This is my ...

>“ wouldn’t want to date myself”- why would you say that? Don’t be hard on yourself. I think that's the most brutally honest thing I can say about myself. It's definitely being hard on myself, but...

You should not let your stutter define who you are. Yes, sometimes things get harder for us, we have to get pretty creative to do things that are just normal for other people to do. Is it fair? Probab...

Why does every day have to be a fight?

Why does every day have to be a fight? Life long stutterer and occasional lurker here trying to vent/rant. While I'm mostly dealing with my stutter pretty well, today it hit me hard. This week I star...

I'm a black woman who stutters, you can find me on my Facebook stutter support group "From Stuttering to Confidence" I've stuttered since I was 7yrs old. My name is Lois Cookie Green.....

What helped me overcome my stutter as from my college to early career years. May be an unorthodox state of mind with some helpful realizations I stumbled on.

One I would recommend is the old BBC Drama series from the 70s called 'I Claudius'. It's about the man of the same name who would eventually become the emperor of Rome - and who actually did stutter i...

Totally empathize - hang in there. Sometimes I use Scott for my name bec the “s” is easier for me too. 👊...

hey man just wanted to say I love seeing when you pop up on the timeline here, you seem like a wonderful person and I’m so proud of you :)...

This is actually what my thesis is on! It’s not finished yet but I’ve noticed that some more modern examples tend to be better than older ones; It, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, etc. Meanwhile in t...

Yes! I think this is also a problem for any group of people that want more representation (i.e. women superheroes, different races, etc.) We don't necessarily want characters who are "token stutterers...

It's worth noting that that 1% number includes children that grow out of stuttering. For adults, the number is much lower....

I think most people are just surprised when they meet a stutterer because it's so rare. They don't know how to react. And, this sucks, but stuttering can be mistaken for nervousness, so they may j...

Like others have said, when stuttering is used as a prop for comic relief, I find it very offensive. Especially if that character is made to look incompetent. My Cousin Vinny for example. If you haven...

Characters that come to mind are Diego from Umbrella Academy and that one guy from IT, but both are again characters who only stutter when nervous and the stutter is also not exactly right. Last chara...

I think you're right. Something like 1% of people stutter -- that's a huge amount. Yet it's usually only portrayed as a story device of some kind. More representations which just *are* would be really...

I have recently learned that people who have a stammer fall into the category of being 'neuro-diverse' - so our brains are wired differently from other, more fluent folk. So, it possibly will never go...
