One week after my 6th birthday I stumbled a few times, another week later and I was labelled because it was very obvious that I had a full blown stutter. “Aye, the wan who stutters. Wee shame.” Peop...

I used to just repeat letters, had speech therapy as a kid and it didn’t work. Family then moved house at 12 and it nearly completely disappeared. 14 years old and it came back and had evolved into to...

Try having a combination of prolongation and blocks💔. Blocks are VERY annoying 😭...

As also mentioned by someone, I have a mixture of all 3. But the 2nd one is the biggest bummer. It's like, I know what to say, the person in front of me is also anticipating me to say something but he...

I feel it's more blocks than anything else, but there is always a whole tonne of repetition....

Upwards of a minute. I recall in middle school I tried cracking a joke and couldn’t finalize it because the last words were nearly impossible to enunciate....

How do you know how much I stutter? Lol. No my stutter is extremely severe. I've met a few other stutterers too and their stutter is nothing like this. It's borderline selective mutism because I ofte...

I feel you can practise the R sound alone. More like rrrrrr... That really helped me with that sound. I realised I had trouble saying the word radius. I have noticed so many factors that contribute to...

I learned one technique long ago... sounds that you hold...m, n, r, etc. You can try holding the sound until the tension goes away and then move on to the next sound. Youll have prolongation but it ...

I will be attending campus this october as a first semester student. I repeat letters more often than having blocks but when I do block, I stop talking completely and do hands gestures so they get wha...

I'm not just paranoid about my stutter, I always assume the worst which doesn't help anyone, or any normal situation. It was funny, a little awkward too because they didn't really know what to do. I ...

How come some people's voices are a lot easier to listen to when they stutter?

How come some people's voices are a lot easier to listen to when they stutter? I don't mean to sound judgemental, I genuinely am interested what is going on here. One of my friends stutters and his s...

That makes sense. I usually have repetition and it's rare for me to get blocks, thankfully. I've tried to speak slower and even prolong my words but it isn't always a guarantee it'll work. I didn't t...

parent looking for information Hi, first I am asking here because I wanted lived experiences. My 11 year old stutters. He claims to not be bothered by it. He's been in SLP services since age 3, but by...

All 3, mainly prolongations and blocks. I mostly repeat sounds if I am frustrated or anxious....
