International travel as a PWS

International travel as a PWS I'm hoping to go on my first international trip this August (I'm American). It's going to be an anniversary celebration, and right now we're thinking of going to Italy. I...

The honest answer is, it depends. In college, if you have classes that force you to give presentations or randomly call on you, or (god forbid) make you read aloud, those are going to be stressful mom...

I don't think it means "giving up" or "avoiding" the social situation if you type your order. It's a common thing people do and waiters are familiar with it. Sometimes foreign dish names are hard to s...

Here to tell you the answer is NO. I am a registered nurse I have to talk to Doctors, patients, family members, lab, radiology, and all the other coworkers. I do this in person and on the phone. Do I...

Please try not to allow this to affect you too much. I work in a company and have been for 6 years now. My stutter is ridiculously bad to say the least. I present in front of 20 people every Friday an...

I think you have it right in your post. It happens when you are under stress, feel rushed, or when you get caught up in your anxious thoughts. The techniques that sometimes work, don't work. The tru...

Any tips to reduce stutter?

Any tips to reduce stutter? Hi, i’m in middle school rn and it’s so hard to speak in front of my friends, it’s gets worse in front of teachers but i know it’s because of stress. When i’m talking with...

I believe as what birdcore has posted that once you are in that mindset of I do not give a fuck mentality that it reduces the pressures and stresses off a PWS a great amount. It might not "cure" stut...

I'm 52 and have yet to find a "cure" or even anything that improves it. It's not a one-size-fits-all disorder and we all have our unique issues/challenges. I have better days and really bad days, with...

So true. It’s unique to cure stuttering and hurray for anyone who has but for the majority of us who haven’t mastered that, all we can hope for is the normalization of this puzzling disorder. Not all...

I am 47 years old and have such a severe stammer it makes porky pig sounding 100% fluent. Each peson is different with there stammer. So far science has not found the universal treatment for stutterin...

Sign language has helped me get out of a dark place in the past. Because I was now able to express myself and had a voice, in a way. But it has its uses and I can't say that it replaced my actual voic...

Stuttering is hard one so even God forgive stutterers for any wrong doing which was not done on purpose. Life long disability...

Some restaurants on apps like Uber Eats or Doordash will have a note section about your order. Even if you say you want your food at the temperature of the sun, by the time it gets to your home your f...

I used to hate ordering food at restaurants. Once I was in a drive thru and was stuck on several words and the driver behind me got pissed and starting honking and yelling at me. But I didn’t let that...

I used to do that as a teenager when i was super self cautious about my stutter. But now I just order on app or do curbside.. Try ordering on app and it’ll take the pressure off you....

You can't always hide from your demons my friend. Like others said, you can order on a mobile app, but eventually you need to say your name, or they'll ask if they can substitute an item or something...

We have to do what makes our lives easier. Don’t worry about the long term. Things can improve in your life to make speech easier. Right now do whatever reduces your anxiety. We’ve all been there with...

Yes if you believe in that idea then it can be countable as "loss" but I think that it's not as simple and if you feel like it genuinely makes your life easier and you're not isolating yourself from p...

It’s your life. Do you what you need to do to get what you want. I just adapt my order so I don’t block, and I don’t end up getting what I want. So that’s not working for me....
