My son once took out his friends for dinner and one of the guys said oh you can’t even talk so don’t try. Yeah so my son ignored him. Tell your son it’ll happen again and he needs to ignore those bull...

I get what you’re saying about the whole eye comparison, but that’s completely different because as a kid I used to not look at it weird but when you get laughed at by multiple teachers throughout sch...

Thank you, my only real issue is that he is distressed when others don't understand and he can't get the word out. He is learning strategies and we are very supportive at home. He is also very soft sp...

You have the wrong mindset Stuttering “problem”- It’s not a problem, it’s not a blessing. It’s just something you have How to “overcome” stuttering- You can’t overcome it, at least in the typical se...

I had a stutter that developed around the same age and is still with me today in my late twenties. I’m not a professional, so take my advice with a grain of salt. But I have a few thoughts as someone ...

You need to report this horrible teacher to administrative staff. This is 100% unacceptable behaviour in teaching staff. The teacher is obviously ignorant of speech impediments. ...

I’m sorry man. My shitty advice would be to say what you want/need to say and stutter your ass off. Make people wait and tell them to not interrupt you and say you are speaking. Easier said than done,...

Well, I guess l've always had a good (albeit, of course, complex) attitude about it. It's always been and always will be difficult, but I think about how the difficulties other people face (mental imp...

When I interview, the first time I stammer/stutter I will say I have stutter and move on. I treat like it's nothing, like wearing glasses or something. The interviewer is looking at you to see how yo...

First off: I think it is a natural male impulse to exploit weakness. However, it is not right. It is not morally acceptable. Behavior like that violates every social compact we have struggled to put t...

i absolutely despise when this or something similar happens to me but you wont see me outwardly express for a few reasons : 1. to me it signals that you view my speech as something you don't want t...
