I hope this I'd an okay question, I'm a tattooist and I'd love some ideas for my client! He's getting a large octopus tattoo, and would love to represent his stutter somehow. He thought loads of words...

Stuttering has held me back and now I'm feeling defeated

Stuttering has held me back and now I'm feeling defeated I'm not sure where to even begin, but I really need to get this off my chest. On paper, I should be doing well—I have a college degree and I pa...

Just want it to stop.

Just want it to stop. A little background: I fell off a 12ft fence when I was 5. I remember talking fine before but after that I started stuttering. I haven’t done a lot of things in life that I wante...

What do I do when people make fun of me for stuttering?

What do I do when people make fun of me for stuttering? I've had a stutter since I was a kid, and even my own family makes fun of me for it. Whenever I try to speak and start stuttering, they either i...

Realizing I likely stroked out being born

Realizing I likely stroked out being born My mother took the selfish option of giving a natural birth instead of a c-section, just because she wanted to, which resulted in me being suctioned out. They...

Has anyone ever overcame the block type of stutter?

Did anyone else get told in middle and high school that they were ‘lagging?’

Did anyone else get told in middle and high school that they were ‘lagging?’ It’s definitely more of a modern, gen z type insult. My stutter first started in sixth grade, but only got really bad in s...

Anybody who thinks fluency of speech is related to intelligence is probably not too bright themselves. Some of the dumbest people are great talkers. Look at the state of politics in the US for an exa...

This is like saying someone with a broken foot is not athletic because his foot does not allow him to run. It’s just stupid....

All through HS teammates called me the friendly sloth…does this mean it’s medically justified my running pace was not as quick as others??? I need to call my coaches and DEMAND an apology!...

I am so happy with your decision. I feel we who stutter want to be understood and be patient with than to be treated differently for our stutter. While he would get teased and bullied which cannot be ...

I think I understand where you’re coming from. It’s a harsh judgement. A lot of people who I personally know who stutter are very smart....

The perception is understandable though.. I mean if someone can't mention their own name and finds it hard to express their thoughts, as a non stutterer I will assume they are sort of slow in a way....

I think homeschooling is a bad idea. He's not gonna escape the bullying forever, it something he would need to learn when to ignore and when to clap back. I feel having another feature which he excel ...

I'm 33 and only like 2 or 3 from what I can remember in regular life & they weren't as bad as me. I'm not counting speech therapy groups ofc..but its depressing to me bc it shows how rare it really is...
