Yes. It's bad enough that there are so many misconceptions about stuttering in society. It's sad that even so many people who have a stutter think that it's confidence related. Like you said, it's bas...
Stutterers have a lot of funny ideas. We suffer from a false sense of expertise in relation to our disorder. Our opinions about stuttering suffer from a great amount of bias and anecdote....
We can learn a lot about stuttering from these research articles. Things such as brain differences of pws, social attitudes and behaviors of pws, potential treatment options, causes of stuttering, gen...
This is interesting to me, and I’m cautiously optimistic about something like this. I would love the idea of a universal aid, but considering there’s no universal cause or triggers, and how each of e...
Agreed. While I by no means want anyone else to go through what I have, as a stutterer, currently-fluent people need to realize that they could end up as bad as me, or worse, due to things like apha...
I find that people don’t always understand the severity of a stutter because they have a certain picture of what a stutter is. Also, to your disability point, when they ask me the disability question ...
Stuttering should be regarded as a disability because it hinders the daily life activities of an individual. It is high time that the definition of 'disability' be widened from only physical disabilit...
Yeah I mean I dont really see the argument of a stutter not being a disability. Speaking is such a basic human skill and its hindered, sometimes nearly disabled for some of us. Not just jobs, but norm...
Stephen Hawking was successful so he wasn't disabled. Helen Keller was successful so she wasn't disabled. Nick Vujicic is successful so he isn't disabled. Andrea Bocelli is successful so he isn't disa...
>I don't want stuttering to be a disability. It is a disability whether you like it or not, at least in the USA by the Americans with Disabilities Act. The main incentive for it being a disability i...
I wish we called it something else so people didn't say shit like that. My speech therapist as a kid called it disfluency and I definitely like that more...
It's not taken seriously in the community either. Based on my recent survey of the sub and discord (which I'll probably post a new update for soon because there's like 50 more responses), 62% say they...
It seems a lot of people seem to think that we choose to stutter, as if it's something not out of our control. Or that people don't understand that our stuttering is not the same as their stuttering...
Eh, almost. You do have vocal chords and you can use them. I don't want stuttering to be a disability. It incentivices doing nothing about it, even though you can do something about it (even if it isn...
It’s unfortunate that stuttering doesn’t get enough awareness and isn’t considered a disability. It may be an invisible one, but it’s just as important as visible disabilities. Having a stutter has he...
I agree our struggles aren't taken seriously and people tend to brush them off, but it's not a disability. There are countless examples of stutterers thriving. The POTUS. Many in Hollywood. Business....
Blocking stutter and selective mutism should be classified as an invisible disability because people who don't know just try to explain away by assuming things like shyness, forgetfulness, anxiety, un...
Recently I applied for a position posted exclusively for PWD candidates and moments before the interview, I was told that stuttering is not a disability because it has speech therapy as a primary trea...
Summary + tips from the research: "Erasmus clinical model of the onset and development of stuttering 2.0" (2024, March)
Summary + tips from the research: "Erasmus clinical model of the onset and development of stuttering 2.0" (2024, March) The curious PWS (person who stutters) in me read [this](https://www.sciencedirec...
The block stuttering is really the only stuttering that I experience. The the other two I learned about today I don't really experience that much...
