I email my teachers to let them know that I stutter. Most of them have allowed me not to talk if I don't want to. Is this an option for you?...

Unexpected camaraderie with the Taxman!? (How many stutterers in authority or other enforcement-style jobs in here? Does your implied clout help with fluency on-the-job?)

Interesting, because even when I had a severe stutter, I could talk quite fluently in a case of emergency....

I had twice to call an ambulance, not of a person dying but still, because all the non-stutters were to afraid. I would prefer somebody else to do that, but i didn't let my stutter be hurting somebody...

Be firm about it. Full stop everything else that is going on. If you're driving, you pull over. Get in their face and let them know that it's out of bounds. I am assuming you're male, and in your tee...

If you’re friends make fun of your stutter then they’re not really your friends. To me there’s nothing worse than when someone mocks my stutter or laughs in my face when I can’t get my words out. Thos...

I believe you can have a good time with people, even if you stutter. Stuttering is just how some people talk differently from others and if both sides are comfortable with it, it can have almost no so...

i guess you don’t have to share it with the people around you unless the manager or a coworker asks if are you ok or something because u can’t talk straight at a specific moment, so mention it. it’s n...

It’s so hard to talk about something that other people cannot understand. The anxiety of ordering or asking for help, and the shame of fucking up a simple sentence. The best thing that has got me th...

I recommend putting the onus on yourself. Send out an email explaining your ADHD and the challenges you have with with attending to verbal presentations. Ask if it is possible for people to send a b...

Let the person talk. It would be very disrespectful if you asked this person to use written communication when speaking to you if you hinted at or mentioned his stuttering. You can always raise co...

I 100% understand how you're feeling. Its hard because people have the best intentions, they don't think in their mind theyre being belittling... but it does come across that way sometimes I have felt...

I never tell them i am a stutterer too and giving pity is really shit but thanks for commenting. Where are you from? English is not my language either...

Hey hang on there!!.. Recently I too had oral medical exam which tests our knowledge.. I really didn't said previous year's I have stutter... But final year is tough so I let them know I have stutter ...

That is a great attitude. I had to do a presentation for both my bachelors and masters. The professors were kind. I approached them before and explained that I have a “speech issue” and that I do know...

Just treat him like a normal dude. We're just like anybody else, we just suck at talking. Also don't cut him off. Sometimes we'll get stuck on a word but the timing is so on point that it'll seem like...

In addition to the no finishing his sentences, just be patient and show a real interest in what he is trying to say (even though you’ll know what he’s trying to say). For me growing up, a confidence-...

Just give him time to finish his sentences and words and don't finish them for him. Us stutterers absolutely hate it. Also, yeah just treat him like everyone else, it makes us a lot more comfortable....

Just treat him like anyone else, let him finish before you interrupt. Even if you know what he is trying to say, just let him finish the word. Basically, just give him time and be encouraging....

I was in the exact same boat as you, but I just thought to myself, With this one click of a send button, a load of stress could be off my shoulder, and I’m not going to know this teacher forever so to...
