No. Most people who have been "cured" have learned techniques to hide it, or keep it at bay exceptionally well. So while they appear more fluent, or even fully fluent at times, they are still stutte...

I think the problem is dopamine. Risperdal hasn't helped before but I want to try another dopamine antagonist. The environment I was talking about was the inside of the house. What you wrote is correc...

I've had servers and even fast food workers try to finish my sentences for me because they hear the first letter of the word I'm trying to say and can usually figure out what I'm trying to order. As f...

Ah, I've been doing that. But somehow, even though my mom doesn't notice the fact I stumble & repeat sounds, she immediately heard the prolongations & noticed a different speech pattern, asked me "who...

I, too, struggle with one worded syllables at times. Whether it’s on the phone or in person. “Bye” or even a confirming “Yes” gets me. I don’t know what it is, but sometimes it does happen when I get ...

Little Personal Victory Today

Little Personal Victory Today I stutter on my nickname but not my full name. When my professor was taking attendance, she asked what I like to be called. I stuttered on my nickname and the class just ...

Hey there! I’m 19 and in college as well. Also funnily enough when I stutter my head moves in the opposite direction as yours (down and to the right). I still struggle with it a bit but what has reduc...

Ive definitely told the people at wing stop a few times my name was John the times I would stutter over my name. lol...

Man, im 23 and have the exact same problem! Vowels, especially at the beginning of a sentence, are hard for me to get through. The worst thing is my name is Ethan, I haven't been able to say my name,f...

Act like you would act with another person. You don't have to stare at full force, but you also don't have to look away all the time. Ideally, it's about 50/50 in the eyes/away....

Good. Now you made her aware of your stuttering and you don't need to hide it anymore...

I'll keep this brief (ask any questions tho and I'll respond when I can) Ppl who inherently stutter develop strategies such as pacing or filler words. These are called adaptive behaviors.  Adapti...

Good luck! You'll be great. I've met a few people with speech disabilities at work. Some are very transparent about it. Our company also does a disability awareness month in October and they featured ...

Sentences starting with a vowel are tough for me. And I have the exact same problem with when you know it's your turn to talk and ESPECIALLY when I'm at work and visitors are there and it's a bunch of...

PWS feel like they are “On” when they are speaking to people, especially unfamiliar people. They feel like they are faking it like you say. And there’s this weird dynamic of the harder you try or anti...

TTY Usage

TTY Usage Has anyone used the TTY accessibility feature (teletyperwriter) on their cell phone with good results. I only stutter on the phone and had no idea such technology existed. Thanks. ...

Bro I share the same kind of stuttering as you. I pause until I get the word out or I change the word to one I’m more comfortable with. I get really bad tension in my face and I even have a line next ...

Unfortunately, I think tips from others don't always work for every person that stutters. But I tend to slip up more with my family as well as my wife because I feel comfortable knowing that they know...

I've done the name swap thing before. My wife looked at me once because I said a random name. I told her if I give her the nudge for her to talk instead. Calling the pharmacy is probably the most diff...
