I think it's good practice to try speaking and I've personally never used text-to-speech to get by, but I also think stuttering is a real life-affecting disability that amounts to muteness at its wors...

What your coworker who stutters craves is to be treated in every sense like communication with her is not a problem. The onus is mainly on HER to become as fluent as possible, and to become as OK wit...

I don't stutter myself, but I've been interested in it forever. It's one of the biggest medical mysteries. What I do know is, there are plenty of people who are confident despite their stutter, and mo...

> Like is it okay that if I know what she is trying to say, is it okay to finish the sentence for her? For me personally, that would just piss me off. If it's someone I don't know doing it, I prob...

Treat her like you would anyone else. You know, being patient and respectful. You said in another reply that you feel bad and want to help her. Thank you for the compassion, but we don't need to be pa...

Thank you. I just don't want to help make people feel crappy. I would feel weird though, saying, "hey, I noticed you stutter. How can I not be an ass to you when that happens?"...

Best thing to do is ask, main thing is try not to pull any awkward faces, try and stay neutral, don't look away just like you would with any other conversation with anyone else! But yes just ask what...

Ask her. But usually, it is better to not finishing her sentences. Talk with her the same way you would talk with a fluent person. I think that your attitude to her that she is somehow different and y...

Coworker has a stutter- what should I do/not do?

Coworker has a stutter- what should I do/not do? Someone I work with (like maybe 1x/week) has a stutter. We work in healthcare, and we have to communicate. She has to give me information. It can't...

You have to stop trying to hide it, advertise, tell people right of the bat so they won't have to wonder/make their own judgements. If you're confident about it they won't mess with you ...

I'm not, but I know of some. One has a fairly pronounced stutter that can't be hidden. He said what he realized is that all his clients care about is it you can help them, not that he stutters. Once h...

IANAL, but I'm an SLP who has had many many lawyers as clients. All specialties, everything from in-house paper-pushing to litigation. Switching words (for those who rely on that) is not really an op...

How can I describe my stutter to other people when they don’t understand me and don’t believe how hard it is?

How can I describe my stutter to other people when they don’t understand me and don’t believe how hard it is? ...

Agree and amplify. Don't let it show that it gets to you. My go to is something like "you should see me when I get stuck on "are", I sound like a god damn pirate. Argh argh argh". Simple as that. Or...

I'm no tough guy but honestly I don't let it slide. Mocking someone for something they can't help is out of order, and I let people know of it....

I mostly choose to ignore people. Easier to avoid getting flustered. If it's a friend or someone I know, I'll call them out on it and tell them how that makes me feel. Usually makes them feel awkward ...

If you know them: Laugh. Move on. If you do not know them: Laugh. Move on. So you just stuttered in front of people. Did you intend to stutter? Can you control when or how you stutter? The answer i...

It's tricky, I know. But you could think of it in terms of stubborness too, I think. Like, you know what you want to say, and you just go about doing that in your own time, regardless of what some oth...
