>call it a disability Well, it is. Did someone tell you it wasn't? Have you tried speech therapy? Or general therapy, for that matter. You shouldn't have to feel this way. This sub might be of i...

I like the story, but I do have some issues with the message, particularly the line "Recognize that there is nothing wrong with you: you have the ability to speak with fluency." Not everyone can be fl...

1: I like your spin on it, but fear that if a non-stutterer were to see the animation, he/she might think that stuttering is a completely mental phenomenon and that we stutterers could make it disappe...

.... you wouldn't want to speak correctly cuz you think you're a better person for it? It kind of reminds me of the deaf culture and how people are shunned by it if they chose to get a cochlear implan...

I have nothing to add but just wanted to say I appreciate your post and the light it sheds for stuttering in different cultures. Thank you!...

It's technique, though not fluncy shaping (the technique is coastal breathing). I know friends who have done it and done really well, I know other people who have done it and while they like it, they ...

It's been a while since I saw the movie, but I got the feeling that the stutter is used to show his intellectual impairment. Which would be not very good. It doesn't sit like a good depiction of intel...

OK. For the sake of this discussion, and also because it's not an insane supposition, let's say you are right, that improving you life in the ways that you describe will eliminate a stutter. (Later y...

Ok, I'll say something. It's not about this video specifically, which is great, but in general about what you're teaching. I think you have great energy and really care about helping people. I th...

I consider stuttering to be a disability. So yes, at least to some degree. I'm resigned to the fact that most people don't even consider me a viable option, but there are without a doubt still people...

IMO, what's fucked is thinking about it in terms of "leagues". I'm not criticizing you or that show specifically for talking about it, I just find the mentality to be a pretty bad one and I wish it wo...

I view stuttering as a disability. As with all disabilities, you try to manage it, if you can't, then life continues. With my 10 year old daughter who stutters also, I wanted her to first realize that...

Thoughts on dysfluency as political action?

Thoughts on dysfluency as political action? Hey, so I've got a stutter and it used to be way, way worse. However, with a lot of speech therapy and time I did manage to get rid of it. And then, when I...

> I have always been wary about using the word disability to describe my stammer It is what it is, a disability....

I plan on majoring in Speech and Hearing Science next fall. The class I am taking right now involves doing research on something you're passionate about- and I'm passionate about this. I want to know ...

That's an interesting point. I graduated with a Communication Sciences and Disorders major and we had one half of one semester out of 4 years about stuttering. It was astonishing how little research t...

That's like asking someone who has dyslexia to reduce the errors they make when reading and writing... sure it's possible to improve but there's a chance that he'll never be fluent. I'm not sure if y...

They stutter and aren't portrayed as weak, unconfident or in that sort of negative way that people with stutters are. Theyre actually loved by many fans and play an important role in the normalization...

I am a fluent speaker after speech therapy. Sorry that it wasn't helpful for you. Stuttering is not a single thing. It won't take the same solution for everyone. However, generally, experts can he...

Ok fair enough. Like I said before it's likely GABA system related. GABA is the break mechanism in the CNS. However, someone who stutters should not think something needs to be fixed. DON'T EVER f wit...
