I'm hesitant to do so because most people don't seem to gel with what I say, but I'll summarise. This involves a lot of introspection. I suffered a bunch of traumas as a kid. In dealing with these ...

I still stutter, but MUCH less. Due to autism I'm always masking. But when that mask is off in my only safe space (my room), I can have full made-up conversations (I know..) with myself without stutt...

Love what you said at the end; I´ll always be a stutterer, but I don´t have a stutter. Today I was reflecting about some ideas and a thought come out; maybe every person have a tendency to block. May...

I think it’s hard for me to understand or express how I feel/what’s going on with me. Maybe this doesn’t necessarily stem from stuttering, but having a severe stutter growing up did make it more diffi...

I think the biggest thing for me, was when I stopped trying to 'hide' my stutter. I was so deeply ashamed of how I spoke, that I would hide away and avoid speaking whenever possible. For me, the m...

Thank you for the thoughts! Very real and valid experiences. I have to say, I think my stutter is kind of fun - except when I am trying to do voice-activated things, or doing a phone call with anythi...

Have you tried focusing on WHAT to say instead of HOW to say it? By How I mean how you physically move your mouth, articulate sounds, etc. In my experience if you let your mind do the speaking, stutte...

I don’t ever tell anyone I stutter. The moment I open my mouth they know. For interviews I often pretend I chat with friends, so I smile a lot, laugh a lot. If I treat it serious and speak to them as...
