I looked up lots of celebrities who apparently are stutters or have stuttered in the past but I didn't notice any stuttering at all. It's hard to get inspiration from famous people when they currently...

Yeah I've gotten good at brushing shit off and not letting it get to me. My drill sergeant drilled me a new asshole when I went to basic and stuttered. They forgot the next day and I went back to bein...

I'm an EMT at a county jail, and in the Marine Corps Reserve. At the jail it's not so bad since I repeat pretty much the same things over and over again (allergies, injuries, med/ psych history, etc...

Engineering. It does involve a lot of interaction with people but all of my coworkers and superiors have been professional and patient. Also, work email and work instant messenger is my friend. Like o...

What I meant was actually that I would have liked for a stuttering adult to talk to me about it (I would have been too shy to bring it up myself!) Of course this is going to be different for every tee...

My stutter shows in every interaction I have. I think the same as you, better not to bring it up unless the kid did. By kid here I did mean a teen in high school....

It might depend on their age. I started stuttering in my teens and I would have really liked to meet an adult who had the same troubles as me, but obviously teen =/= little kid. Does your stutter sh...

I know it's hard to believe, but the fact that you stutter is a non-issue. People (interviewers included) feed off of how you present yourself. If you go in there nervous & thinking they'll see yo...

Shame this is getting downvoted. Might be tough love but I feel the same. It's self-defeating, victim mentality. Had to come to the same realization myself growing up. ...

I work in journalism and have for 5+ years now, at several community newspapers. No one interviewing me for a job has ever brought up my stutter, even when I did phone interviews and stuttered very ...

You keep talking about how your "brain isn't producing the right chemicals" & there being a "chemical imbalance in your brain". Quit telling yourself there's something wrong with you. There isn't....

Thanks for the reply. I completely agree with you and I am already in the same mindset as in, the only true change can come from inside and what it really takes is for us to own our stutter. It make...

Hm, I honestly cant think of any other impediments now, but yes. Being cross eyed or anything like that is extremely taboo to bring up. Mainly adults yes, kids will always be kids. But if kids laugh a...

So, it's not just stuttering, right? But impediments? And do you mean adults mainly? Or even kids? Thanks, very curious about this. Never heard this about Scandinavia before. Or anywhere, actual...

It's weird to think about all the people that we pass every day or are surrounded by in various places, what they are living with that we have no idea about. I think about this a lot. I don't stutte...

I always smile and use hand movements. I think stuttering has made me more charismatic tbh...

I'm a woman and never "grew out" of my stutter...

Stuttering -- My personal approach

Stuttering -- My personal approach Let's say you stutter. Of course you do. What else made you decide to read this very text on stuttering? As a stutterer aged 24 who joined the fight against his pe...

I read that the ratio for women to men who stutter is 1:4, and I've used that in a few speeches I've given. Much more rare for an already rare disability....

I'm a woman who stutters, and I've never even met another stutterer irl, male or female. So yeah it's just statistically unlikely. ...
