Interesting, I always got marked down for fluency. I ended up adapting a different way by making videos. Now I’ve lost jobs due to my stuttering and other recent disability. I graduated top of my clas...

One more thing, never say his stuttering is from anxiety. We didn’t have anxiety when we were stuttering as young children, the anxiety comes from how people have always reacted to our stuttering. No ...

But these mistakes aren’t okay when it comes to other discriminatory groups, that’s the problem I have with it. If speaking with his professor one on one doesn’t change anything then he needs to repor...

Don’t forget also that since the professor did this he is showing all the it’s okay to laugh at you. It’s disgusting, report him or at least have a long conversation with him about it one on one. When...

I dunno, you would tell him to report the professor if he said anything racial. I don’t see how what he did is anything different. Seems like classic downplaying of what stutterers go through. I thoug...

Yeah report this, don’t tolerate disrespect as I did in college. Since I participated a lot in classes I always ran into professors that would feel the need to attack my stuttering. I was often told t...

Well done for saying something. I had many teachers laugh at my stutter during school and I was too scared to say something. As an adult, I now know that you can gently let people know that you stutte...

I don't get it either, but people have laughed about my stutter in a non-malevolent way too. They didn't keep in mind that it's not deliberate, I guess also because my stutter is often not visible any...

Professor laughed at me stuttering on my name

Professor laughed at me stuttering on my name So today was the first day of my Summer course, and when it got to be my turn in class introductions, the professor laughed when I stuttered on my name. ...

I get you, they are different. I only make such comparisons so people can understand. I know it’s apples to oranges, I always make those comparisons when people do the “it can always be worse.” The di...

It’s not easy. The sad truth is that you have to just keep trying, and endure as much rejection as necessary, before you find someone who won’t judge you for your stutter. When you finally find that p...

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Yeah they just don’t wanna hear it because it wouldn’t mean them having to come to terms with their malpractice and treatment towards us....

Hey man, white people were enslaved too. Any member of the human race has been enslaved at one point or another. I think stutterers have it worse in society currently than any one of a particular race...

I remember being accused of lying, and being on drugs because I struggled to answer questions properly or explain myself....

I feel ya friend. I've experienced all the above. I developed severe speech anxiety over it. Feeling like I had to rush my thoughts, afraid of being interrupted. Afraid of blocks in the middle of phra...

Then I get accused of not “putting myself out there.” I literally have, people just don’t want to believe how truly debilitating this condition is towards life. I put myself in such hard situations fo...

Is it one or two percent though? I never ran into another stutterer in grade school and in college. Where are they then? I don’t think that 1-2% is real or it doesn’t refer to stuttering into adulthoo...

The people who are the worst to us are always the ones who are the most insecure. Truly confident people I can tell do not mind. The problem is the majority of people are insecure. Hahaha that on drug...

I feel that too. I am currently 53 and I passed the point where I have any hope it is going to get any better. In my time, jobs were next to impossible, and I realized the harder I tried to be fluen...

I know, you're right ✅️... speaking is so important making connections with people, and performing many jobs. People automatically poorly judge a stutterer , they judge the stutterer as either he's l...
