I'm 35. I've stuttered since I was 3. The only person who can make you feel small is you, my friend. No one else can get inside your head and drag you down. Confidence can make up for a paucity of el...

I think that's a cool idea. What about deaf speech? I'm studying ASL in school and I love the thought of all of those voice-activated tools being more inclusive. I personally don't use any of those v...

You are the definition of perseverance...not letting fear get in the way of your dreams. Fear can be a hinderance, or great motivator, in your case it seems to be the latter! Awesome to hear that you ...

Reading all of these comments is so heartbreaking. All of us share the same “affliction”, and I can relate to everything being said here. The fact that anyone feels trapped in a job, or scared to reac...

You are not your stutter! You said that you were fluent during therapy, which is important. If we give up trying then we forfeit our tenacity and strength in overcoming hardships. Life is really real...
