I’m a doctor and your GP acted really unprofessionally and impolite. Definitely complain because it’s likely your GP has been a dick to others too...

First of all, file a complaint against her citing ADA. Next, write a letter to her explaining why her actions were incredibly rude and non-patient centered. Finally, find another GP who actually l...

This leads to a great open and honest conversation about Stuttering. Discussing blocks, empathy, patience and respect. The more people know about it, the more it is understood and people can act ap...

Take it from a 49 yo stutterer. I had the same group job interview (they call it panel interviews in hospitals) and when I walked in I disclosed my stutter before I greeted the 5 panel members. Th...

It’s not anxiety, I agree with you. It’s not something we can control at all. It just happens. We have a misfire in our brains that happen when we think and speak. There is no cure and trying to alter...

I'm quite comfortable being an asshole to people if they can't deal with my speech they can't get what they are after...

You are 100% correct! When I tell them I have a stutter, they apologize and I take that time to educate them so that it doesn't happen for the next time. Also, it shows strength and courage when yo...

I let them know that Inhave a speech impediment and that I may have difficulty speaking. Many of the rude customers apologize and some don't, either way, that's their problem not mine....

The man does not have my poltical support but I will support him as a fellow stutter. I cant be shut up, I give tours, I answer phones and I make my voice heard. We will not be silent....

I really just want him to live in the way that makes him happy and at ease, but it seems that for him that is becoming an urban hermit, which unfortunately places all the responsibility of adulting so...

I didn't unfortunately. Im fluent enough to convince people i speak to of having no speech impediment. However at my new place of work when working the tills there is a script to follow and you must a...

> So I wonder: Should I have stepped in earlier and "protected" my friend? I don't usually see him as someone who needs protection, actually the other way around, but this time it was different som...

I’d say just ask your friend what he’d prefer. Sometimes it must be nice to have someone else do the calling out for you....

If he’s your friend you can ask him about his stutter. And yes don’t leave this kind of bullying unchecked. Check that dude...

I always like to say this very bluntly when people make fun of my stutter "Wow, you're making fun of me for a disability I was born with. I guess that just shows what kind of person you are". That usu...

The food guy is probably making minimum wage He dare has the nerve to THINK he has power over someone? If I weren't the stuttering friend, I would hold back and let my stuttering friend "fight his ow...

Each to their own, but if someone stood up to “defend” me I’d feel emasculated and humiliated. I’d rather be left to fight my own battles. But that’s just me....

In my opinion, definitely. People are gonna be douchebags like that, sure. But if I had anything to do about it I'd tell them to leave him alone, and I'd leave the restaurant and find another. (I'd...

Should I kindly ask people to shut up when they make fun of my stuttering friend?

Should I kindly ask people to shut up when they make fun of my stuttering friend? Yesterday I went to get food with a very good friend of mine. He had had an exhausting and difficult day and stuttered...

A very good friend of mine doesn't look away most of the time when he stutters. He keeps his eyes locked with mine as long as I do the same, but not like a stare. It's exactly as if he was saying a lo...
