I'm glad you're taking the comments from the toddlers in a light hearted way. They can be brutal, albeit just misinformed. Honestly, how do you even deal with that? I wouldn't be sure what to say....

Welcome to Australian Stutterers.

Welcome to Australian Stutterers. Hello, Welcome to the community made of stutterers living in Australia. This community is open and welcome to all those from every state of Australia, ethnici...

Ah well...now this is bothering me. You're right. I've always considered that there may have been people who've treated them as 'less' but in my experience I've always seen people complimenting them o...

I have the same issue with trying to be more active socially despite my stutter. I would suggest you try to join some stuttering support groups, and also some social groups as well that are about thin...

Fair. I misunderstood your point then. It's indeed very hard. Even in living in a privileged country it  can be extremely hard to do without have some very very good help/therapy. I know I wouldn't ha...

I appreciate you sharing this with us. I can understand how vulnerable and defeated you must’ve felt. In the grand scheme of things? They’ll forget about it quickly. No decent human is going to care...

My parents weren’t mocking but completely minimized and ignored my issue and the pain around it l, and eventually labeled me as “too sensitive”—I knew early on I was completely alone in my stutter. ...

Love this so much!!! As a fellow woman stutterer, thank you for sharing. It’s so needed...

It seems like your family consistently mocks and belittles you. That’s no way to show love. I don’t know your specific situation, but I’d recommend finding community outside your family. Maybe find a ...

Thank you for your story. I do have friends that accept me and it is wonderful to hear that you have friends who accept you....

Yes, I had two classmates each in primary school and middle school, and one in high school that stuttered. Now I’m working, I also have a few clients that stutter. But I haven’t met any girls that stu...

I can definitely relate! My family isn’t supportive of my stutter either. The best thing is to focus on yourself instead and build you up. Come into community with other fellow stutterers if you haven...

I understand what you're going through. You could find a psychiatrist to help you. You could also join a support group where you could practice your speech with other people. All the best to you! Here...

Human are not capable of 100% empathy. When you hear of someone being depressed by what you think is something to not be depressed about, maybe you are right, that person shouldnt be depressed, becaus...

Love this! The encouragement she gave you was very wonderful. It’s just what you needed. Sometimes we worry too much about our stuttering when others don’t care as much about it....

I can relate to that as well. You may have to overcome some hurdles that the average person doesn't have to face, but you're right on the money my friend....

He is very honest with his feelings and knowing him my guess is that he doesn't even realize he suffering from anxiety. He is a wonderful boy and I say this to him everyday. I couldn't ask for a bette...

I feel your life would be further ruined if you isolated youself and had no social interaction at all. Have you spoken to anyone else who stutters? I find that sharing those experiences and seeing tha...

I went to the NSA as a kid every year so plenty. It’s a great place to meet others like you in a safe environment!...

I'm interested! I began speech therapy in February and I'm making progress, but I would like to practice my speech and share experiences with other stutterers (both in English and Spanish, my mother ...
