I do not think either of you lack confidence; anyone can have problems communicating in load spaces, and it is reasonable to ask ones kin for advice. As someone who is overly triggerhappy; I just dont...

Yeah, when we use something as a trick, it's possible that it ends up a part of our stutter. It's actually rather insidious that way....

Sounds like a crutch word/sound. For me, I've been stuck the last several years with "um" as my crutch to get into words. I try to say um as little as possible but my brain is quite hooked on using it...

I meant to say if I add it directly in front of a word I have trouble saying. Very valid point though, when using an expression such as that you're most likely not in a high stress situation (intervie...

I would assume that using signlanguage he could communicate as anyone else using signs. I am by no means an expert; so take it with a bucket of salt. My opinion and, the swedish medicine branch opinio...

Sign language

Sign language Hello everyone! I'm currently dating someone with a stutter. I was wondering if you guys had any info if learning sign language helped you communicate better? Not meaning if it made ...

I got one of them too, I usually just say "hey Alexa" like you do with Siri. I'm the same with those hard 'A' sounds, need something before it to get it out ...

I agree, however that fighting behaviour is like 90-95% of my stuttering haha!...

Meh, only our fighting behaviour against stuttering is a bad habit....

Hmm, I prefer getting out the words I intended. I try not to avoid/substitute too much. But you're right, it still requires an effort regardless....

First off, you replied to a comment I made in response to a question I was asked from someone else. To avoid confusion, don't ask an unrelated question under a parent comment. Second, I'm not sure I...

>bad habit This probably requires a very wide and not very common conception of "habit" to work. It's not like we can just up and quit it at our leisure. ;)...

This AMA is so awkward. This is all common knowledge lol. I don't struggle. I train my communication skills daily. I am de-sensitizing myself to talking under any context without using tricks or ...

I know for sure that I never stuttered before because I had speech therapy when I was a kid because I had a slight lisp, and the speech therapist would have picked up on it. When I was in high school,...

Of course, they will. But I'm reluctant to tell anyone about my stutter. I think, it's natural for anyone having this problem. Also, I don't normally stutter in front of my parents. So, even they don...
