have passed on Stutter

have passed on Stutter Hi All, I've passed on stuttering to my son (3yr old). About 4 days ago he repeated a word in a sentence 3 times in a row ("I like like like that book"), to which we thought th...

Great job! I have such a hard time there, too. I'm glad it's kind of loud in there, but I cringe if they ask me to repeat myself. Out of the gate to "burrito bowl" sounds like "buh, burr, burrito, bur...

I think my stutter is considered mild and I think small doses of Xanax help me to be more fluent. I will take a .25 mg Xanax maybe twice a week. I don't have a set routine, I just wait till I start ha...

The only real thing that has helped me and had a lasting impact is when I made myself say exactly what I wanted to say, no word substitutions. If I stutter, so be it, I acknowledge it and move on with...

Yeah it really sucks, having to put extra effort to do what normal people take for granted. It's like a race where we start several kilometers behind the others but are expected to catch up to everyon...

I am uncomfortable talking about my stutter to anyone .. aside from my family. I don't think anyone at my work knows I have a stutter since I am fairly quiet, but even when I do talk I tend to use wor...

Why do so many people think I'm "faking" my stutter online?

Why do so many people think I'm "faking" my stutter online? I have a pretty bad stutter as it is. I get stuck on syllables, I go "uh, um, like" when I'm talking, and my face gets pretty mangled as I'm...

frustration possibly the worst part of stuttering for me is not being able to defend myself. so i'm staying at my grandparents over easter, i messaged my sibling group chat on whatsapp saying my gran...

Anyone interested can email me at Chris@aberrantcreative.com. I will then be able to tell you more, as I can't reveal too much on this public forum. ...

You ordered your food in person at a restaurant. You should be proud of yourself for not just ordering online and taking the easy way out. I get it, there are way too many bad days for PWS to handle. ...

Don't know what your culture is like at work but my place has been really accommodating with making sure I'm comfortable at meetings and get a proper hearing. Raise it to your manager and if they're w...

Same as anyone, really. There's nothing serious that separates a stutterer from anyone else. Stuttering has always been a far bigger deal to me than to other people in my life. I also thought I could...

Hey, another PWS who struggles with 'S' here! I can't even say 's' correctly when I'm not stuttering, it always comes out as 'ts'. Back to the main point, I know how ordering food can quickly turn in...

Good for you! I have issues saying my name when introductions happen in a meeting, and I know it's 100% mental. Before my turn, my heart starts racing, etc. The only way I'm "safe" is if there's no...

I can't say it either so I end up saying it as Pacific. Most people understand I mean and then you get smartasses who say "Pacific? Like the ocean". ...
