I’ve had this happen from a few different people, a few who are really invested in my speech progress in one way or another, but for the most part I don’t really mind. It crosses the line when people ...

Agreed! Joe Biden, for example, inspired me to work on my stuttering, and the fluidity of my speech has improved significantly since then. (I’m a young adult who has stuttered for a majority of my lif...

When people tell me about celebrities, they would continue to tell me that their stutters go away and it feels a bit like invalidation of what I deal with. It's a bit condescending when it comes from ...

Exactly, I couldn’t give less of a shit if that famous person stuttered. Their stutter doesn’t affect me, mine does. Yes, I watched King’s Speech, that still doesn’t make me feel better about my stutt...

What names do people not stutter on? What would you name your son/daughter if you didn't want them to have trouble saying their name, should they stutter?

I’ve thought the same thing about Bruce and Sam but when I hear Biden talk about stuttering, I can tell he knows what he’s talking about. I wish that Biden would talk about currently being a stutterer...

Idk why he would try to relate to such a small percent of people like stutterers if he didnt stutter himself at one point? Doesnt add up to me. Either way the man is raising awareness on stuttering an...

So true, but just try to remember that he’ll be the oldest president elected into the office in US history, and some people are just looking for any reason to hate him. The cognitive decline narrative...

I've gone through that too, but remember that there are good days and bad days, don't assume it won't ever get better again. Also don't let yourself down just because you stutter! It doesn't define wh...
