But did you hear anyone say that stutter was defined as exclusively neurological, and that nobody ever stopped stuttering?...

My point is that stuttering isn't neurological in some cases, and some people have fixed their stutter. ...

Because they are desperate to believe they can pull their fluency up by their bootstraps. And normally I'd be fine with people believing whatever they need to as a nod to self-care, but I'm uncomforta...

The behaviours and tricks to not stutter are habits, the stuttering itself is not. Why is that so hard to accept for some people....

The way I look at it is everyone has a problem and I'm happy/not happy I have a stutter instead of being blind or deaf......

if someone ever makes fun of you call them out on it and tell them there is nothing wrong with you and you don’t need to be treated differently because of it. don’t let people treat you like a puppet...

Step 1 is accepting your disability. Step 2 is not letting it control you. As you get older, you will learn to accept things hopefully your stuttering. Then in accepting it, it will set you free and n...

I am 47 and people still make fun of my stutter, however, when they do, I give them a history of my stuttering. It usually takes about five minutes. I used to think folks thought I was stupid but I ...

I attend meetings of my local NSA (national Stuttering Association) chapter. There I have met doctors, professors, teachers, financial advisors, vice principal, retired vice president of a company, so...

I still stutter all the time when I introduce myself too; it’s always the words that we can’t change or switch around that makes it the most difficult to say. I still get pretty embarrassed myself whe...

My stuttering worsened after high school so your story reminds me of myself. When a person starts talking slowly to me, I let them know that I have a speaking problem not a hearing problem. More impor...

Personally I wouldn’t like that. Wouldn’t want to be categorised into a ‘stammerer’ category, however helpful it could be....

Yes probably not the right path to go down. I personally hate to think of a stammer as a disability, even though it basically is. I wouldn’t like to be put into a different category because of it, a ‘...

If I can give you some advice, if you are a teenager now... this is the worst it will probably be. At least, that's what you should keep telling yourself. Dont be afraid to stutter. Don't be afraid to...

This. I think that's why we don't "see" people. It's not a visible disorder all the time. It's not like being in a wheelchair where you are always in a wheelchair when you are in public. Stuttering is...

Thanks, that’s helpful to know. It’s great there are places like this to share stories with others. I’m always surprised how few other people I come across who stutter day to day - considering it’s me...

Yes, I agree that having a place like this to talk with others and normalise stuttering is often more helpful than techniques etc ...

I like your question. I kind of feel that's how this subreddit works. It's just people who stutter talking to people who stutter. I'd like to hear less from SLPs and more from people who stutter. I li...

Most of us have had it all our lives. I'm not saying it's something you can do overnight, but if you adopt the right attitude about it, eventually you 100% can find yourself in positions where you beg...

Everybody experiences some amount of dysfluency. This is why for people with a mild stutter others claim to not even notice it. Dysfluency is normal, and is commonly tuned out. You call it a failure ...
