Acceptance is just so hard for me, personally. I’m really thankful my son is different, and hope he remains accepting. The one thing of mine I never wished to pass on -_-...

As somebody who got speech therapy I can say the results are varied. It didn't do a great deal for me. The best thing for my stutter, ironically, was accepting in a deep way that I sometimes stutter. ...

He says he's not bothered by it, the speech therapist at the school isn't concerned about it. As far as disabilities go, it's probably one of the least impactful. If I were you, I'd lay off the thera...

Speech therapy will work wonders for you. It'll show you tools and techniques to help deal with Stuttering. It will so help with "accepting" stuttering. The more you hide and avoid from stuttering the...

That's wonderful to hear. These are success stories of people who have not gone to become fluent, but to have succeeded in spite of their stuttering. Thank you for taking the time out and sharing this...

I stopped overanalyzing my stutter very recently. There was a point when I was 16 years old, crying because I wouldn't be able to talk the same as other people. Now, three years later, I just announ...

I'll be honest. I used to. I absolutely hated myself and how I couldn't talk right. People always told me to "just slow down!" without realizing that it happened even when I did talk slow. I would fre...

Do not get your hopes up. Most likely this will yield fuck all like all the other studies. There will be no cure for stuttering in our lifetime. Work on yourself in other areas and that new confidenc...
