I (usually) mention it up front to take away my worry that when I stutter the first time they won't know what just happened. Yes, this does not give them any opportunity to talk ask questions about it...

hey, what he said: it's bullshit. Honestly, he is a minority. Most people are far more understanding, and your brain might lead you to believe that the whole class was laughing at you: they werent. t...

I wouldn’t call it a screw up at all. Most of us (if not all of us) went/are going through such things and those are probably the most stressful situations for PWS. You actually came to school even th...

So you believe to not say straight away, but to say it in in a more creative way, as an opportunity of discussion may come about it? I totally get where you’re coming from. By saying it straight away,...

Yes!\* \*If you want to. I am currently looking for work and for me it is something I do, usually. When they ask me to tell them about myself, I usually start with 'I do have a slight stutter, so whe...

Thank you! I used to struggle with telling people about my stutter out of fear of judgement. Speech therapy helped me with that. My therapist told me that I should never apologise for having a stutter...

Ya that’s fine , I wouldn’t even go that deep into it. I would just say “By the way , before we start , I do have a speech impediment”. And that’s it...

I've used this approach personally and there's a relief that it's out in the open. Once, it was actually a bonus - I was interviewing with a partner at the local accounting firm and the guy was real...

Worked at retail for years. Often the laugh is then coupled with outright ignorance like "Oh, I didn't know" as if that makes it okay. What I did was burn a few seconds at the start, on days I could f...

Fuck that dude. I’ve gotten to the point in life where I don’t care anymore, so if someone calls out my stutter in a negative way, ESPECIALLY at work, I just say “yeah I have a speech impediment, it a...

stuttering is the way you talk. maybe ask the time ppl if they can be respectful of that?...

Make sure to focus on your breathing during your words and know that you deserve to be heard and you’re in charge of the situation....

Why not making the talk about stuttering itself ? i guess it would make you less nervous ?...

Talk to your professor. Mention that you are a person who stutters and explain that anxiety might increase the frequency or intensity of your stutter. Ask them if you can give the presentation to them...

That’s it exactly. Even here, on this thread, one poster (the person means well) said that I need to face my fear. To me, this is rude and pretentious (no offense intended). Why do I suddenly need som...

Agreed.. I got one really good friend and i told her many times that i cant do certain things like presentations and she keeps tellinng me to get over it and that it isnt that bad......

That’s at the root of my frustration. I’ve TOLD these same people over and over. But, like so many people, they often think they know better what you need to do than you do. It’s one of the things I d...

I would speak to the prof as there may be other options - I did this once in high school and the teacher gave me the option to film it (this was years ago so I used a 8 MM camcorder). I know your pai...

Let the professor know that you’re gonna stutter and it’s not because you didn’t prepare for the presentation, but because you just do. They will likely understand and if they don’t then it’s discrimi...

I used my job to make my stutter better. Why don’t you view every phone call a opportunity to get better? When you do stutter, in a cool way just mention you have a speech impediment and you are worki...
