I felt the same way about A Fish Called Wanda and could hardly watch it -- though I found out later that Michael Palin's father had a severe stutter, and that's who he based the character on. Palin is...

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...

That's a really good point. I feel like most representations of stuttering have very little basic research behind them....

there's an episode of Shameless (uk version) where Steve ( a brother to a side character) appears and has a sever case of Touretts syndrome. He also stutters a lot, which the other characters make fun...

They also only ever just show people stuttering, not trying to deal with it. For example, there's no stuttering on the word "chair" for a second, and then changing to the word "seat". Which is a trick...

Why u think there’s not enough representation of stuttering in media? Is it because if stigma or something?...

I'm a white woman so I can understand the "woman" part. The majority of stutterers I see are males and the only woman I can think of died over 50 years ago (Marilyn Monroe). 1. Representation matter...

In all fairness there’s not a tremendous amount of representation of stuttering in the media anyway...
