The best way to talk to someone with a stutter? A good day to you all! I was wondering if your community could help me? I have just made a new friend who has a minor stutter and I am after some advice about how we chat to each other. Is there anything is should (or shouldn't) do to make my new friend feel more comfortable when she stutters? I know there must be some things that must really bug you and I'm trying to avoid them. For example, I'd imagine having someone but-in and guess a word for you would suck big time. What I have been doing is just politely waiting the few seconds it takes for her to carry on. I keep eye contact (unless she breaks it :-) ) and am patient. I'm sure it will become better with time as she gets to know me more but I thought you'd all be be experts so I should ask here too. Cheers for your help!
