talking about stutter must be the first thing and that you want to finish your own sentences. make them understand that you have the right to communicate same things as non-stutterers, even if you'd ...

Out of options at work

Out of options at work hey guys. So I’ve been working as a Paramedic for a little under 2 months now, with 4 years of EMS experience in total. I previously worked as an EMT-Basic for those 4 years, an...

I’ve become the opposite, my stutter has shown me just how rude & inconsiderate people are. I’m mean/closed off before nice. I’ve learned that people need to earn my “niceness”...

I find it interesting that DAF is still being used, considering that I was told years ago that it is a crutch, and runs counter to self acceptance and self advocacy....

more like a opposite case for me. less stutter around older family members, because i mask as a quiet person. they behave like a hive mind who freak out collectively whenever something reminds them th...

Tell her it’s not her fault and that having a stutter doesn’t mean she is worth less than others. When she speaks (or is unable to), have patience with her. And most importantly – help her on the path...

There is nothing wrong with you. You just need to take the power back from others over you. One very effective way to do this is to stutter voluntarily. When you start conversation with someone, maint...

You can't control how others feel and also if they attack your speech that's an ad hominem fallacy meaning that they probably don't actually have a rebuttal to your argument...

I raised my son to believe he had important things to say. Disfluency happens; awkwardness is the listener’s problem....

If someone asks a question and the response is very unexpected, the asker may be nervous/confused and may accidentally blurt out something awkward. Similar to laughing at a funeral By gently disclo...

What you say is interesting, because it's different for me. I don't necessarily want other people to wait for me. If I would have my legs broken, I don't want people around to wait for me. I want th...

That's when you get defensive and say "you dont know what its like living with a disability nobody knows about" be aggressive bc frankly it's warranted. Because if they don't wanna learn and improve t...

That's some bs. I'd definitely be talking to someone about their employee. I'd leave a review on the website as well. Probably nothing will come of it but at least they may remember it. I'd explain wh...

Yep. I’ve been a lawyer for 25 years. I’ve had 4 jobs and I stuttered in each interview. (Clerkship, horrible firm, amazing firm, adjunct teaching while at amazing firm). My advice is own it. Don’t tr...

Highly recommend she gets plugged into a stuttering community. It would be very hard to convince her to do this. If you don't have the patience to meet her where she is at, maybe it would be better f...

every time OP thinks "too late for that", he must consider the possibility that it might actually be a small win. too late to go back to order the right thing, maybe that's right. but just listen. the...

It's ignorance of what a stutter is. I suggest when someone says that tell them "hey i know you're trying to help but thats not what a stutter is". We're apart of one percent of the popular and practi...

I have debated with many people in my life(on beliefs, I am an agnoistic atheist). If they try to degrade me using my disorder I am out. I have completely shutted the people down in debates, if they r...

First and most important, I would recommend as other have speaking to a professional. This will be beneficial for her in any regards. That being said generally speaking you are not doing her any fav...

How to defend myself? Hey! I’m 16 yrs old and i have a stutter, you might say its severe, and this year was a big change for me, i accepted myself that its a part of me and now i don’t have a problem...
