I'm 39, stuttering since somewhere before I was 10 (can't quite remember, it's long ago). ;) Hm, I'm not sure that there's necessarily a "progress" with stutter. Like, in the acceptance of it, or wha...

I am a life long stutterer and have spent my adult life working in IT. I have worked on mission critical infrastructures and took place in rolling out code. Both involve heavy communication with other...

It totally makes sense. We are all at different stages with our stutters. I've had mine for 18+ years (started at 6, 24 now). It wasn't until a public speaking class in college that I began to fully...

I won't try and speak on behalf of anyone, but as someone who also feels a similar sentiment about my stutter, I can give my perspective. For me, my stutter shaped my personality, drove my work ethic...

Thanks for the input! I happened to see him a couple more times and he seemed quite friendly and extended the conversation beyond what he had to, which was great. I didn't bring up stuttering and don...

Female stutterer here. Only met two other stutterers irl one was a girl a couple years younger than me (I am now 22) and a guy who had learned to greatly minimize his and became a speech therapist for...

Personally I wouldn't but it would depend on the kid. As a kid growing up with a stutter since about 9 years old I thought I was alone. I never knew anyone who had a stutter till I was 18 (well aside ...

That is exactly what we want to show. It may not be about managing a stutter, but not letting it prevent you from a specific goal :)...

Yeah, but if you're going to feature someone who stutters, you probably want to understand what "overcoming" generally means to people who stutter. It's about having less anxiety about how you are pe...

What? I was talking about pws as in people who stutter. ...

Can't say I'd care to see It stuttering this time around. Kinda portrays pws in a negative light. Though I am not going to let that keep me from seeing it. I grew up reading Stephen King as a kid. It ...

I apologize, as that was just an example to be "stutter free". Basically, just looking for people who want to bring light to the issue and show they can achieve goals with it, to inspire others who ar...

There's no cure for stuttering so I fail to see how one can work to be "stutter free". That's not the right message to send at all. ...

You should seriously consider seeing a therapist. Stuttering and anxiety/depression often exist together. You've described withdrawing from society and experiencing feelings of persecution, both happe...

I'm a digital designer. About ten years ago when I was just about to graduate I got really down as I had convinced myself that no-one would hire me. The industry was really competitive and looking aro...

Yes, it's not just something mechanical going on (in these cases). It's something tied to our "communication identity", or whatever we should call it. We're not just bags of air not working properly, ...

Mine developed quite suddenly too as far as I can recall, but I was younger than you (about 15). However, I did experience some rare isolated instances of stuttering when I was a kid (like 3 speech bl...

At no point does anyone make fun of him, or point it out, or expect him to hurry up. They accept it and accept him and just let him talk through it. Also, he's not dumb, he ends up doing very well ...

It sort of is, but he turns out to be very smart when he goes to college. In the end, he's really the smartest, most virtuous, heroic, etc. one in the movie. Now, I don't think the movie is intended...

I agree. His stutter is obviously supposed to give the impression that he is stupid. It's an unfortunate truth that a large amount of people associate stuttering with lower intelligence ...
