yes, this is about you - for the most part. it's not about you when you start generalizing outside of your own case. you're making a list about yourself, but for it to amount to something more solid,...

*So why do I stutter at-all? Surely it cannot be genetic if my father and mother do not stutter? How far back do genes/genetics even go?* You should familiarize yourself with Mendelian genetics and t...

I know exactly what you mean regarding the age thing dude, definitely. Like when I speak to my youngest brother who is 8 or 9, can't remember which, lmao ;_; my bad, I don't stutter much if at-all. I...

That's rather strange concerning your parents, for me it's completely opposite, but then again, my stutter is really mild and I don't stutter like most people do. But, I stutter a lot less around peo...

I'm sure a lot of mentally ill people would disagree with me, but as someone who is mentally ill with a severe stutter, they're remarkably similar experiences....

It's called a block. Likely a silent block. Your vocal cords lock (either shut or open) and you cant phonate (produce sound). What's worse, the harder you try to get the word out and not stutter, the ...

I work in marketing and communications, and part-time as a freelance journalist. My stuttering also ranges from moderate to severe. I've always considered it kind of ironic that I used to avoid using ...

Also, I would [read some articles](http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/for-people-with-disabilities-doctors-are-not-always-healers/2014/10/24/afb632e6-45a0-11e4-b437-1a7368204804_sto...

Your children will not "learn" to stutter by interacting with you. I cannot emphasize this enough. Same principle as accents-- children of speakers with foreign accents are able to parse through diffe...

Long-term it really depends on the person. Mindset/attitude is (in my opinion) the most critical and impactful way to "manage" a stutter. The physical tools you learn in speech therapy can be helpful ...

I had a teacher at my school who has a pretty bad stutter. It honestly really helped me; he was very confident and would often crack jokes. It showed me the light at the end of the tunnel....

In Junior High, I sold newspaper subscriptions door-to-door. I'm not sure if I sold them because I'm the worlds best salesman, or if they pitied me. Either way, I made BANK. And by bank, I mean I made...

the biggest thing I came to realize was that either people don't care or are curious. The dynamics of college for me were much different than high school in terms of how people react to others diffe...

I've stuttered since I was a kid, and like you, I think I'm a lot funnier, wittier, and well-spoken over writing than over speech. But I've done a lot better in college. I still stutter, mind you, but...

Hey Scatman, well i'd at least like to tell you that you're not alone in this. I block a lot too and i dont really stutter like s-s-s-stutter. The best way i've seen to deal with this is to be able to...

Great points below! I just want to offer my two cents as someone who stutters too: First of all, I don't think there's anything "unprofessional" or "wrong" with simply stuttering. It doesn't make us ...

I always wonder how many jobs I was denied because I stuttered in the interview. It sucks because you can't really prove that's why you weren't hired. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1996...
