Whoa, a fellow stuttering celiac! We won the genetic lottery I guess. For what it's worth, I've found that I've only been safe eating at totally gluten-free restaurants. Helps with the thousand quest...

Would you consider carrying an information card? I made myself one to hand to cops/ EMS and one to hand over with my business card (not often but occasionally)...

Don't let it get into you. I stammer and I worked in call centre before and progressed my way up. Just be upfront with them and relax. If they don't hire you because you stammer then that explains tw...

Other option is to contact the interviewer and let them know that this is the reason you've decided to turn *them* down for the position. If they're interested in you they'll try make it right....

I suggest that you consider advertising up front that you stutter. When you talk about it openly, you eliminate the power you’ve assigned to stuttering. I used to allow stuttering to take up so much h...

The best thing you can do is to treat this as a learning experience, sort of like a stepping stone where you're building and improving your speech based on good and bad experiences. Here are the thin...

Do you think it would help if you practiced fluently saying "I have a stutter. Just give me a moment to speak, please."?...

You’ve gotta just go for it. Most people won’t give a shit and if it has to do with business or making an appointment, it’s really no big deal. You can even be open about it if you’re having a really ...

Hello, im a 21 lady and I have a substantial stutter. I actually have a stutter with my own name, so it's extra obvious. Mine actually started as a worse speech impediment and speech therapy helped m...

Really support her, don't be afraid to talk about it and ask her how she's feeling about it, stay on this subreddit (if you're a regular member of reddit), when she's older look into a support group n...

Your approach to the situation is admirable. For what it's worth; I think you are doing all the right things. I'm now 42 and I've been through it all growing up. Bullying, anxiety of speaking in fro...

Hello :) I am 31 years old, but that little girl was once me. I am still outgoing, spunky, social, speak my mind— most of friends describe me as life of the party. My stutter has definitely held me ba...

This is a very delicate one, but I totally understand your worries. I'm a stutterer since birth, I'm 22 now. Throughout my life, I've never found myself in situations of severe bullying due to my stut...

From my opinion if you think he doesn't deserve the job because of his stutter that's too bad. I'm almost a 100% he chose the field he is in and wants to go full time because he thinks he can do it. A...

I'm new to this community and i dont quite understand what you mean exactly by micro aggressions but i definitely understand how you could feel. I block more when i dont sleep very much as well. Thos...

Not really, today he did ask me a question about something and I blocked on Steve Jobs. I did email him last night telling him I do stutter and asked for the extended time....

I have the same issue, a student at a university dining hall with a stutter trying to get fruit or basically anything. At this point if I do stutter as bad as I do, I always tell the worker that I stu...

This won’t be helpful - I just laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. My tic can represent as short gasps - and I can feel my mask getting sucked in and out of my mouth repeatedly and rapidly as I stu...

That doesn't seem like something we should be worrying about. Just focus on getting the thing from the company as efficiently as possible. The world will have to get used to it eventually, so that's n...

I'm sorry that happened. I'm glad you tried to advocate for yourself, even it didn't go the way you wanted. I would find out who's in the charge of the food court and complain to them. That kind of be...
