Interview + Thoughts on Thesis project (about stuttering) I am a graphic design student that is currently working on my Thesis, which is about stutters. I am designing a book that tries to visualize/d...

Just tired of this disability.

Just tired of this disability. Tired of having to silence myself all the time because I have this stupid fucking stutter. It's to the point where I have no friends, dont speak to my family (that I liv...

Please get in contact with your university disability services! They have services and aid for stuttering and they can adjust your caricular for you so you won't have to participate in things like the...

I second this! I wish I knew that these services existed when I was in university, I would have used them if I did. I think a lot of stutterers don't know that their school acknowledges stuttering and...

In the same boat as you. I think all my classes this semester require participation but there’s one class in particular where I have to give a 25 min final presentation (it’s a group one tho) and mult...

i would recommend that you reach out to your university’s office of disability services and request accommodations such as alternatives to presentations, etc. i did this and it helped me greatly. do ...

No, don’t try to avoid it. If necessary speak to the professor and explain any difficulties you have with the class requirements....

I've always tried to face my fears head on. But I understand that is easier said then done especially in a school/ college environment. I think if it is negatively impacting the rest of your life you ...

Should I drop this class that requires heavy participation and presentations?

Should I drop this class that requires heavy participation and presentations? This semester I have a class that requires heavy class participation and presentations. My stutter along with social anxie...

For me personally: What makes it worse: talking to family (don’t know why), talking to crowds ex. class presentation (nervous/anxious etc, heart rate def increases), calling on the phone (nervous mayb...

Good luck. Times are different. 20 years ago I bitched out my teacher in front of the class after a few weeks of similar behavior, we then came to an understanding, she was being a moron and didn’t r...

Calling the person who graduated them from speech a dumbass is super unnecessesary. We're bound by the law in schools - we cannot legally remove students from class for therapy through an IEP unless t...

I'm an SLP. Talk to the school SLP and guidance counselor about the possibility of having a 504 instead. 504s are for students who need accommodations for medical conditions (a diagnosed fluency disor...

Ask your parents to send an email to the teacher and principal about this. If nothing changes, email the district. Make sure there's a paper trail of emails. You should not be marked down for your stu...

Are there any other adults in your life that know about this situation? If you feel comfortable doing so, set up a meeting with this teacher along with another adult who you know is in your corner (ca...

I'd say ask other school staff to see what you can do. It's completely unfair and out of your control. I have mentioned my stutter to teachers before, and they were always considerate enough to give m...

If your school speech pathologist is no help, can you talk to a guidance counselor? You're literally getting marked down because of a condition you cannot control and your teacher is making a diagnosi...

I live in a small enough town where everyone knows about me and that I was the first one to have a "true stutter" and this was the first time someone didn't show me ways to do just as well as other. I...

I never had any luck with teachers showing compassion when it came to my stuttering....

The teacher doesn't care

The teacher doesn't care My english teacher, who already doesn't like me, is starting to mark me down points on public speaking because "im not confident enough." If you know me, you know i am overly ...
