The long term cost is lower by fighting. It also allows me to open the door to other families so they don’t need to fight so hard. I know the law and it pisses me off that school districts deny legall...

I am right with you. I am 25 and work a stressful office job where my superiors put me on the spot to answer difficult questions sometimes. I usually stutter, especially if I am stressed out, but you ...

It works to the extent you practice good habits. As with anything else, practice makes permanent. If you practice good breath control and fluent speech, it will help. If you don't, it will just set b...

I joke about it all the time, especially at work. Not so much on each stutter, but more that I do stutter. I tell people I never stuttered until I got this job, started working with them, that kind of...

I've said it before and I'll say it again - it's impolite to interrupt and speak over other people. Even if some people who stutter are ok with it - it's rude if you don't already know it's acceptabl...

It's a crutch.. even when it works, you don't feel good about it (Joseph Shehan). You usually need to tell people to let you speak or they won't stop....

I agree with a lot of that thread. Most people who stutter that I’ve met definitely don’t like having someone try to finish their sentences, but some do. Always best to ask or to advocate for yourself...

Thank you, I appreciate your input. However, it is also my choice to choose a job based on my stuttering. Please do not assume that you speak for everyone who stutters. Not everyone has their dream j...

No, actually the times where I'm most susceptible to being laughed at is where my stutter is very mild and people may just think I'm nervous. If it's bad there's usually no laughing there. I have ba...

I'm concerned you're in a bad family situation if they know you have a stutter and still moan when you try to talk. That's incredibly rude and hurtful. Find yourself a support group, a lot of colleges...

I don't know what the jet programme is but I taught English and chemistry in China and they didn't even background check me or even check my qualifications if you speak English they're willing to pay ...

In my case, if I tell people about my stutter it makes it easier for me to handle. When I was doing summer jobs in my office my dad told my his workers that I had a stutter. Even though some of them k...

Some people who stutter and can keep a healthy outlook on life can be fairly strong in empathy, patience and listening. These are valuable skills and good employees know that having lots of perspecti...

I told a company to pass on me for a job due to my stutter

I told a company to pass on me for a job due to my stutter but they still want me to come in. =) It's a very small company (kickstarter in 2011) with only about 10 employees. I've been getting burnt ...

Forget there opinion they have no valid input since they don't have a stutter you know first hand what your strengths and weaknesses are they should encourage you rather than make it seem like thinks ...

Hey buddy, hang in there! I’m just gonna echo what others have said: I’m sorry for the way you are treated by people around you, but don’t take it personally if they are attacking/mistreating you bec...

If it makes you especially uncomfortable, you can tell your boss and quite possibly make an agreement that lets you avoid that task. Otherwise, I mean, you're not required to tell your boss and your b...

Hi there, I really hope you feel better soon. I've battled anxiety about my stutter for soooooo long. I went to college and wondered if I'd really ever find a job. Who would want someone who stutters ...

Highly urge you to reconsider. This is as far of an avoidance mechanism as possible! Changing your name is the same as word replacing, only you are literally losing your identity. The reason you stutt...

I don't think their is a right it wrong answer, it depends on how you feel about it and how much you think it'll affect your role. Personally I would say something, if they didn't notice/realize in t...
