That's the actual worst thing. Hate it so freaking much! I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling with it tho- I did not know it was so typical! Sometimes I wish I could just change my name lol...

I'm not sure the answer is obvious. In my life, stutter has been a consistent presence. If we were to imagine that stutter was not present in my life at all, I don't think we would know what the res...

Never. I am the strong, patient, resilient, persistent man I am now in part because of my stutter. I know how it feels to have a stutter and all that comes with it. Now that it is in my past, I am t...

This does not seem to me like a topic that's worth delving into. We shouldn't be trying to self-aggrandize based on something as fickle as "IQ score". Averages tell us precious little about individual...

People who stutter are more intelligent? Hi guys, I remember being told by a speech therapist that people who stutter tend to be more intelligent on average. Do you find that to be true or do you thin...
