Lol my bad on he podcast thing, that’s what I meant, idk why I said “watch” a podcast lol. I’m gonna watch my music too apparently Once I have my license I’ll look into support groups. Like I said ...

Speech therapy might help, but it can be expensive. Whether or not you should is a question only you can answer. I have gone to a group in the past and I recommend it highly. As a much lower cost opti...

A bad time to do that huh? Like I can see points in his speech where he clearly was avoiding suttering but that wasn't one of them...

I didn’t realize people could be so cruel until that happened to me. Thankfully the dentist I work for made him apologize to me, and whenever he comes in for a cleaning or treatment they let me go on ...

This is flat out bullying in the work place. You shouldn't have to feel ashamed of your stutter because some a**hole makes jokes at your expense. Report the person to your HR department and report it ...

Only when a PWS says them. I always say did I stutter. If I hear anyone else say it, I will throw hands....

Whenever anyone makes fun of my stutter, no matter who it is and how funny they think it is, I never find it funny and I let them know they’re being really hurtful and insensitive. I try to combat it ...

That is not your problem. Unfortunately, social behaviors like that are much worse for the perpetrator, then for you in the long run. Be with people who make you happy and comfortable. If one of them ...

It sounds like the jokes bother you. First off, that sh\*t ain't funny. I'm not going to judge people I don't know, but my initial impression of your coworkers isn't favorable. But let's give every...

My personal opinion is to take it at face value. You now know they’re not good people and can base your expectations around that behaviour. Don’t take it personally because we know that people will co...

just an idea

just an idea this community has grown over time and perhaps maybe someone else may have suggested this idea or maybe not but since President Biden himself understands the pain and frustration of stutt...

I agree. Let him finish speaking. Dont say anything about it. Its nearly patronizing to do so. He'll probably feel more relaxed without any added pressure....

> Maybe don’t frame it as criticism, just as a desire to hear from him more Yes, no need to even mention the stutter....

This legal component is important to keep in mind, so thank you for reminding me. I lead the team we are on together, but organizationally, and personally, we are peers. I think we are probably on the...

This is interesting, and it's a helpful perspective. Thank you. I would never consider wanting to hear more from him a criticism, so hopefully I can encourage him without it coming across that way. Ev...

I can appreciate your desire to get the most of this persons potential. I can also appreciate that non stutterers will never understand what it is like and I also want to add that there are so many d...

Thank you for this. This is very helpful. It's funny (maybe that's not the right word) how so much of this comes down to etiquette and manners. We have a few very prominent voices on the team, and, w...

Thank you for your insight. I have no idea where he is in terms of his stuttering journey, and I had a feeling there was probably a wide range of feelings people might have about it. So I don't want t...

It seems like you actually care and support this person and that's good. As long as that comes across you should be fine. And I see in a different your motivation seems to be a promotion and you wan...

I try to talk even when I think I will stutter. Avoiding speaking situations has been a slippery slope for me in the past. I would want to be encouraged to speak more. Maybe don’t frame it as criticis...
