Having a stutter is a medical disability and I can't understand why we are not taken like that from childhood. I CAN'T do a speech in front of whole class, do presentations, reading outloud. I will tr...

I have the same problem but taking it as a big deal brings in anxiety which ultimately makes it worse for overall life in general, just think like it is what it is and try speech therapy if you have n...

I empathize completely. When it comes to hourly jobs, customer service/some form of consistent human interaction is a huge part of the most widely available jobs. I haven't had any luck with recruiter...

It is true that we **may** only have a *predisposition* towards stuttering, although I don't think its fair to say that it can triggering this predisposition can entirely be avoided. Twin studies seem...

Learning how to approach conversations not from a stutterers mindset. Dont equate a successful interaction with "i was/wasnt fluent". Accept the moments of fear and realize its the fear that condi...
