Yeah I think it definitely should be and yeah stammering affects a major part of life and this case it is being assessed so it should be taken seriously as a disability. I wouldn’t give up on it thoug...

Thanks for your reply. Is it not a disability though? If the stammer is severe enough that it prevents/impedes fluent/controlled speech and is out of my control, it must be a disability. The speech ...

I start Uni in September and I'm going through this process right now as I stated it in my application. I also have Asperger's syndrome so that's what I place my stammer under. Pretty sure if you have...

Is your stutter talked about with your family?

Is your stutter talked about with your family? My family has never mentioned my stutter to me, it’s never a topic of discussion. The only memory I have was in second grade my older brother said my mom...

I never had much of a strategy for speeches. I think having a strategy makes me more focused on my speaking and then I stutter more. So I focus on my technical stuff and audience instead. And yes I st...

One thing that I have found in my interviews that worked well is confidence, finding your “trigger” sounds (mine is words starting with H and sometime F) and avoiding them when you get nervous or feel...

I have tons of ticks and I’m the only girl and stutter(er) in my family naturally. I do have an uncle with one but he was apart of a malpractice as an infant and suffers brains damage so the stutter i...

Interestingly enough, my stutter has made me more social. I have wanted to get out of my comfort zone, so I’m pretty social. If I didn’t have my stutter, I’d probably sit at home and waste my life. So...

i think i would have been a jerk for sure if i didn't stutter!...

S/o to us for all being 23 with a stutter we should form a band lmao but dude never count yourself out stuttering can make you feel awful at times (sometimes more than not) but remember you are not yo...

I think I’m a kinder, more accepting person because of it. I also wouldn’t have found my chosen career without it (SLP). I work with a lot of preschoolers on the autism spectrum. I find that I don’t g...
