I spent 6 years in college trying to figure out what I wanted to do and graduated a year and a half ago with a degree that isn't very marketable. I've taken jobs here and there and figured out which...

Im not a PWS. I’m a mom. My son, who is in elementary school, is a PWS. The job advice was generic advice I got 20 years ago. I think the book was “what color is your parachute?” Rejection is par for ...

Hey, Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I'm at a somewhat similar stage in life. Thanks for posting this, I'm here for advise too. I'm working as a part time bus driver but I want to ...

It's good your not complacent. This means you are at the point where you are open to take some steps. For example, you could start calling store and ask simple questions to practice speaking on the ph...

Me too! How strange. I’ve said this since my childhood (in my late 20s now) and have had multiple speech therapists seem to not believe me when I told them. Put me in front of a class doing a pres...

As much as I sympathize with you, you can't blame your speech for everything. You have to be the person who really wants that job and you can get any job you bloody well want. Just work hard for it, y...

Tread carefully. I have a stutter, and atleast during a trip, it can (at times) get worse. After tripping, it could improve or worsen, depending on how therapeutic the trip was. Mushrooms CAN put yo...

Yeah, part of the reason I’m so proactive is because it’s hard for him to communicate. The stutter isn’t going anywhere. The focus is on communication. He has speech therapy and there it’s about givi...

Oh, interesting! I feel that sometimes. Sometimes I get annoyed though, like I want to feel like I'm this independent person (I'm 30), and not have someone else speak for me. It's really interesting h...

The defining moment of my adult life was breaking down after running out of a college class before I had to speak, crying for about an hour in my car and having the epiphany that nothing is wrong if m...

I've seen it posted on here before, and I don't know the steps needed to accomplish it, but honestly the only solution is to change your thinking about it. You're never going to stop stuttering (at le...

Well, the worst thing that can happen is that you'll stutter, right? But you already know that you stutter, so that's no biggie, right? I'm being crude, of course, but if you could somehow get used t...

What helped me a lot in university presentations was practicing what I was going to say at least six times so when I get up there, I know exactly what to say. Also, controlling anxiety before I went ...

What helps me a lot, I write the full speech I’m gonna present and time it. I try to practice it alone then when I get confident enough I present it to extremely small audiences (1 to 3 people). I thi...

I feel similarly. I stopped trying to be fluent and focused on talking and not being fearful. I fully accepted my stutter around the age of 30. By accepted I mean talking about it, warning coworkers w...

Here’s a short film called “Stutterer” that won quite a few awards that I enjoyed a lot. https://youtu.be/2m_VTZR5MU0...

I quit being so tough on myself. I mean it's not like it's my fault- and people generally understand that. One of the biggest changes I made was just being open about it. In high school I didn't speak...

I think what slowly changed for me was realizing that what made this thing that I️ called my stutter so bad was how I️ was reacting to it. The stutter was always there and will always be there. I️ ca...

That's actually a really hard question for me to answer. I mean, I've stuttered for so many years (I'm 40 now), and I have no tracking of what I might have changed. I used to get more angry and sad, b...

How to accept my stutter Hey guys, I'm new here, it's really nice to feel that I'm not alone with this stuttering problem in the world. Anyway, on to the question, the general advice I seem to see a ...
