It's about 1% of a population will stutter. So, most cities of any size will have a small community of people who stutter. Like, my university has 48,000 ish people. That's still 480 people who stutte...

well, we've got 7 million inhabitans. stuttering is, what a few percent? maybe even less. it's a lot of people if you put them in a room together (would recommend a great big hall, though), but outsid...

That's crazy. It's so bizarre that there isn't really anything for stuttering around the world relative to anything else. There's over 3 million alone in the US who stutter, but there really isn't muc...

WMU Broncos represent!! Is Tasko in charge of that? edit: reread what you wrote. A professor at WMU had started an NSA chapter in Kalamazoo shortly after I left. Not sure if it's still going. ...

Neither, I'm too focused on my grad studies for that. Which team do you recommend I check out? I'll be here for two more years so I might as well pick a side. I'm in Kalamazoo so I can't really come...

Are you a Spartan fan or a Wolverine fan? Also if you live in metro detroit you should come to the NSA chapter meetings!...

You should feel bad if you didnt feel anxious. I mean how could you not? This is something unfamiliar and very worrying to most people. I think the more you learn about it and that it's not some impos...

That's exactly what he needs. He should know stuttering is ok. It's just something he does, it doesnt define him. It'll only limit him if he lets it. Get him a diagnosis and if it looks like it's deve...

maaaaaan it's about 100000x easier said than done, but realizing that though we might not be able to totally change our speech, we can change how we feel about it and ourselves and I think that's the ...

There was a kid a couple years younger than me in school that had a strong stutter, much much worse than mine. Poor kid used to spend his lunch time in the library to avoid talking to people, I always...

I have no doubt there's an NSA chapter in Boston. http://www.westutter.org/find-an-nsa-meeting-near-you/Massachusetts/ Chapters are really welcoming places where you can meet other people who stutter...

Yes, a lot of people. I think connecting with other stutterers is one of the most helpful things for us. Where are you from? there are support groups or other types of groups out there. I recommend yo...

Yes lots. I had a close friend in high school that did. Also, you'll meet tons if you go to a NSA convention. I was one of the few people there that did not stutter... I felt very out-of-place....

Yes, several. One in middle school (we became goof friends), a classmate in college, and another classmate, this one a girl, who accomplished a lot in her four years. I also know a lot of people who I...

Yup I've met at least a hundred other stutterers through various therapies and support groups....

I've met loads! The best way to efficiently meet other people who stutter (If you live in the US) -- attend the National Stuttering Association conference. It's annual conference travels throughout th...

When i was 17 I went to a clinic in Virginia where I went through therapy with 11 other people with a stutter. I got to talk to them a healthy amount. It was the first time I'd ever met people in pers...

Has anyone here ever met someone else with a stutter in person?

Has anyone here ever met someone else with a stutter in person? I'm 18 and have been stuttering since I was 5 or 6, and aside from my immediate family, I've never met anyone else with a stutter. I'd l...

I see it like there are three main groups -- your floor, your major, and your student group. I think it's important to find some kind of extracurricular group. And then find a friend or two or three i...

Well my speech definitlely got worse in the coming months. Luckily I knew a couple people and were able to make friends with others on my floor. I just tried having to have a good time and going out ...
