I work as a dental receptionist, and one of our patients whom I was talking to on the phone thought I was drunk at 9 in the morning. He was very rude about it and it was hurtful. I told the doctor and...

I’d advise not bringing up his stutter at all. I can’t really speak for your boyfriend or anyone, so this is my personal opinion. Even though my stutter is very mild, it’s still there, even though peo...

That orange card is AWESOME. I fully agree with what ur saying. This is not "being nervous, get through this.. u can do it" type of shit. As u said, if the teacher made the blind kid draw, he would be...

As a doctor, having to call a family member to give updates or ask about information is like Russian roulette for that reason alone. I always take my time and go slow and as clear as I possibly can an...

A huge part of my job is making calls over a radio net for aircraft maintenance. Obviously, the stammer occasionally intrudes so for a long time I would make my radio calls in a Mickey Mouse voice; w...

It def has affected me in a way that I think most other law students wouldn’t understand. Like my peers just have to worry about being prepared but I have to worry about being prepared AND being able ...

I'm currently in a coms class and I was worried at first but honestly, it helps me more to participate. It normalizes the idea that some people have stutters. But that's how I approached it. I did how...

Or explaining that you are willing to do extra paper assignments while others present. This is a good one because what sane person would ask for extra work at school...

One option is just going up to them and explaining how it makes you feel. Usually when a teacher actually sees me struggle to speak while talking in person they believe it is more than me just trying ...

I've always refused to put myself in public speaking situations. I know what I want to spend my life doing has nothing to do with public speaking. There is no reason to force a person that has a speak...

Are you learning English as a language or studying something in English? If you're learning the language I recommend letting the instructor know as soon as you can. I'm leaning French for work and i...

Like @nukefudge said, just be open and direct. I waited until college to tell my instructors about my impediment and wish I had done so much, much sooner....

>I wanted to know how to tell them not to tell me to speak there or do practical there only you give me the tasks Just write that to them - simple. :) Do make sure to actually tell them you have ...

I can relate to this. My biggest problem is when I am on the phone and I can not see the other person or read their body language. With a phone call there are so many other variables at play than ...

I totally empathize with this rant. I am in law school, and well, lawyers need to be able to talk in front of people. the trick that has worked for me is to talk to every one of my professors at the b...

So glad that you are taking my words constructively and I would love to be updated on what happens after you email your professors! Also, please please please even if it's 10% or even 5% of your over...

No you're definitely 100% right. I havent talked to my professors about it, partly because in my culture stuttering is seen as something like whatever u know. But i definitely need to have this talk w...

Please do not misunderstand what I'm about to say next--I'm coming from a good place and I'm only saying this because I really do not want you to go through the same situation ever again. I am not s...
