You ordered your food in person at a restaurant. You should be proud of yourself for not just ordering online and taking the easy way out. I get it, there are way too many bad days for PWS to handle. ...

Don't know what your culture is like at work but my place has been really accommodating with making sure I'm comfortable at meetings and get a proper hearing. Raise it to your manager and if they're w...

Same as anyone, really. There's nothing serious that separates a stutterer from anyone else. Stuttering has always been a far bigger deal to me than to other people in my life. I also thought I could...

Hey if you don't mind, can I ask how you manage to get by in journalism with a stutter? I'm entering college this year and I have a large interest in journalism and writing yet I struggle to imagine h...

Hopefully he will be receptive to that. And no, he was very accommodating, he also had a disability, granted it was a lazy eye but he knew what it was like to have a disability. I have noticed that ...

I agree with what others have said, he is the one who reacted poorly and didn't make the space for you to relay your questions. I can definitely relate to going into a situation like this feeling conf...

Sounds like I've met someone else with a severe stutter as well. Some stutterers are more mild, but you sound similar to me. Mine's very severe, I tend to block and have repetitions on every other wor...

I can't say specific, does anyone else have this problem?

I can't say specific, does anyone else have this problem? I can't say this specific word. It's really annoying because as someone who works in the IT world, if I were to say "The specific problem lies...

I know I am late, but I have to answer this question. I went through the exact same experience and want to help other stutterers. I am 21 years old and an engineering major. My stuttering worsened ov...

I'm not really sure it's discrimination. I just think they don't really see how much I know because I don't explain it well enough. Know what I mean?...

I agree with this statement. My last interview I had, I was having a harder than normal time with speaking and they were very understanding and let me write down a couple of the answers. I don't reall...
