Even if Moses was real, it's debatable he stuttered. I think more mainstream Jewish scholarship holds he had a lisp. The text itself says he was "heavy of tongue and speech" which is ambiguous at the ...

Not to troll on your post as I admire and look up to King George VI for what he was able to do despite his stutter. Saw the movie and read both books on him by Mark Logue and Peter Conradi and I belie...

I agree with your statement about being mentally deficient! Really makes me want to die inside. Fluency, or lack thereof, does not affect cognitive or intellectual ability. I also can see the strate...

I think he has opened up about it more publicly than any other famous person already. Given his responsibility I don't think it would be prudent to dwell on personal matters that most of the populatio...

Aw this made my heart so happy. I may not agree with the president in a lot (don’t come for me, not a Trump supporter either) but politics asides I’m glad someone with so much power is spreading aware...

Thanks for the question - I’m not a person who stutters, but I was deeply moved by the SAY gala that I went to in 2014 with my producer Michael Alden. Michael had produced the Kings Speech play on Bro...

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...

On the contrary IT handles it rather well IMO. Bill only has one time where he’s notably fluent, and that’s when he’s giving the speech about going into the house to confront the monster. A character ...

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...
