I was an overexcited confident kid who stuttered. My parents rolled with it. They didn’t finish my sentences (most of the time) and rarely spoke for me in public and with relatives. We hardly mentione...

It happened with me all the time in school too. When somebody used to ask my name, i used to find it difficult to utter it. I remember hearing this sentence almost every time this happened....

no because i literally struggled in school TRYING to say “my name is” IT WAS HORRIBLE and i was presenting too while reading a piece of paper...

NOT FOR ME! I hated back in middle school/high school when my stutter was at it's worst - when my teacher picked me to read a few pages from a book in Lit class for example because I would stutter thr...

I would personally suggest that the parents do not speak on the child's behalf, such as ordering meals at restaurants and the like. My parents did this (in good faith, they didn't know any better) and...

Hi! Firstly, thank you for taking the time to share your story. I know your post emphasises not to focus on fluency, however, I must admit I am curious as to how you stopped blocking and stuttering? W...

I just finished college two month ago. I got my first interview 3 weeks ago. It was the first professional interview I ever do. It was in English (which is my second language). I got straight up rejec...

Yeah they said I was “anti social”, “nervous” or intimidated by others but that’s the contrary.I’m not trying to sound like a victim but I saw my life go to 💩 and lose my “friends”.I was very extrove...

I felt like this all of high school, I even dropped out and went back when I was older and still had to give presentations. It was really hard and embarrassing for me but I pushed through it. You too ...

Does Screentime Worsen Stuttering?

Does Screentime Worsen Stuttering? Hi, this is my first time using Reddit, and I’m really sorry if I make any mistakes. I started stuttering around five or six years ago. My stutter is more on the m...

I literally only stutter when someone is demanding me to speak or in social situtations where i dont know the person. If i dont want to talk to people it makes my stutter worse. interesting i never gr...

I don’t know how to help you stop the blocking but I strongly encourage you to email your teacher. She probably thought you were nervous more than dumb. You can explain to her in writing whats going o...

I’m sure it was all the anticipation that tripped me over, (I had about 20 minutes where I knew I would have to say my name) usually when they ask my name randomly and I’m not expecting it I can say i...

You want a stuttering kid to stand in front of a high school class and explain his stutter? Lol, a slow falling guillotine would be more beneficial. That is absolute bonkers....

Also, I’d talk to your teachers about an alternative presentation method, such as a recorded slideshow, or perhaps a different type of project all together. You may need to advocate for yourself, but ...

It always breaks my heart to read these posts because it’s exactly what I went through in high school. If you are comfortable with it, talk to your teachers in private and let them know what’s going ...

I've had a stutter my entire life, I did speech therapy to gain strategies to speak more fluidly (14 years in total), BUT if you have documentation from a speech therapist, you could get an ADA requir...

It’s a fact that many PWS start in school, and being forced to speak in school just makes it worse...
