This is all great insight. Thank you. I definitely don't want to single him out, and I'm not really looking to help him personally try to "fix" it. Maybe a better way of phrasing it is, what should I ...

I'm actually in this situation at work only I'm the one who stutters. I tend to resort to the chat in group meetings because I get cut-off a LOT. Particularly by one or two people; anytime I pause th...

Does this person want "help" with their stutter? I know I hated it whenever my bosses (people in a position of authority over me) gave me it's the "It's ok that you stutter, you are still valued" s...

Kudos to you for even doing that job. I couldn't handle that kind of pressure on the phone and my stutter is fairly mild and largely controlled these days. Good luck resolving the issue....

If the guy is brilliant, does his work, communicates when asked, and you're ok with being patient with his stutter, I ask the question, is there really a problem to be solved? Staying engaged and tr...

First off, good question. Seriously. You are right that one size does not fit all, so I will say that what you can/should say might depend on where he is on his stuttering journey. By that I mean he m...

"Just talk" is a great advice to YOU. I don't mind it when someone completes a sentence for me, I know that's not the case for many. The reason a lot of ppl would see "just talk" as a crappy advice i...

Except a wheelchair-bound person is never able to walk, while even the most severe stutterer can talk fluently many times (so this analogy is a bit offensive in my opinion). "Just talk" is a great adv...

Similarly to how sometimes people start by saying their pronouns, start by saying “I speak with a stutter and sometimes repeat, pause, etc”. It will make it easier for you....

I hope everything goes well for you. I would suggest having a conversation with your professor before hand. If i could go back 20 years to when I was in college i would have told a lot more people b...

If you’re up for it, I would try to tell your lecturer beforehand. In my experience whenever I’m around people who I’ve told about my stutter I feel a lot less anxious/pressured because they won’t be ...

You don't need to respond to every comment directed at you. We stutterers have very high sensitivity towards what others say about our speech - So much so that we start obsessing over it. we dont real...

Yeah it varies from person to person but I would absolutely feel embarrassed and coddled if someone said that to me. I really just prefer nobody bring it up at all....

Since it is over the phone, I wouldn't mention it unless they do. You don't know if they are at a point where they are comfortable with their stutter. If in person, you can try and read body language ...

Same, except i never say it. I don’t want to aknowledge their stuttering and possibly make them feel bad....

I understand people want to be nice to stutterers by trying to calm us down telling us these things, but I'd say many stutterers don't want it to be brought up like its this big thing people can hear ...

Personally I would find that awkward and off topic. We can tell that you're awesome from you being a good listener more than by you saying you are. Focus on what's being said rather than how it's bein...

Yea, using the technique of deliberate disfluency is difficult, but I feel like it always lessons my fear of speaking. And the more situations we do it in, the easier it becomes to do it again in othe...

In response to your previous statement. I'd force yourself to stutter if you're really fluent to just explain that you have a stutter. I would not go deeper than that or say you are not normally this ...

I'm a software Engineer and I placed through campus placement. I gave my first interview in my life to the company in which I'm currently working. In the Introduction,I told them that I am a person ...
