I have a professor like that, but because we're a small group sometimes it happens that I'm the only one raising my hand so she nas no choice but to call on me. Also I purposefully look her in the eye...

My first thought was that I wish I had your teacher but I can see how that would still sting if it's obvious that he's exuding you. It might be that he thinks he's helping rather than any malicious in...

I always met with my teachers in private and explained my stutter to them. Many of them were very accommodating while others did not care. ...

Everybody is different when it comes to this topic. When I was younger, it angered me when someone completed my sentences. Now that I'm older, I welcome it because I don't want to pass out from bl...

Almost all of my other teachers call on me the whole time as well w the exception of 1 or 2 but you’re probably right about what he thinks. He’s been at the school since the 70s/80s and I’d imagine th...

I have the opposite experience. Teachers would call on me all the time unless I said something about it after class. Just tell your teacher that you want to be more involved during reads, he probably ...

do I wait, or do I complete the sentence?

do I wait, or do I complete the sentence? Alright, this is going to be a bit long because I really want to understand and make this new guest I have comfortable. I’m a bartender. I recently had this y...

lmao people always think im rude because I don't say "thank you" or "good bye" because I know I will stutter. For thank you I always use the thumbs up...

I am quiet but when prompted, I just start off and tell them that I have a stutter so if I give one word answers, they understand. For me, I'd rather educate them so that it benefits them in futur...

The issue with this is that I generally can't get out the retort, which leads to more TODAY JUNIOR" comments. ...

Letting them know you stutter helps a lot. Some of the pressure is gone because they're aware of it and won't be surprised....

Cancelling will be the worst thing you can do. You're in college, which means that getting a job is the end goal. How else do you expect to get a job? My advice is don't be afraid to stutter. Start...

Sorry; soap box speech here. Please don't cancel as a result of the stutter. It may ease the anxiety in the short-term, but you may have regrets. Think of how this job will set you up on your resume...

It is annoying but I no longer perceive these situations as embarrassing. Why should you? Just take your time saying what you need to say and don't worry about it. If someone stares at you, just smile...

if it's someone working at a store that does this, go to the manager. they probably won't think of acting like that in the future then!...

I’m using this next time someone cracks a joke at me. Usually I’m too much of a weenie to stand up for myself so I don’t say anything. ...

I flat out ask them, "How does it feel to make fun of someone with a disability?" (Crickets) Then they apologize. ...

I've had other interviews since where I've come out and said that I clearly have a stutter and it's usually more pronounced in stressful situations like interviews. I then say I don't let it interfer...

Hmm I'll have to keep that in mind. Did your employer ask you about the stuttering or did you bring it up? If I explain it in a job interview I definitely stutter much less, but maybe that's why I'm n...

That happened to me and I met in private with the teacher and expressed my concerns as a PWS. The teacher instead of doing the roll call method, she just asked who would like to read. The school is...
