no doubt. I cant deny him a birthday wish just because I have trouble stuttering....

I hear you about it being worse over the phone. For me, it helped to tell the person on the phone that I have a stutter and ask them to be patient, though I could see why others wouldn't want to do th...

This has been my experience as well. When someone makes fun of you, your first instinct is to get defensive. However, almost every time I've explained the situation the person was taken back, extremel...

one person did this when i was trying to say my birthday and i replied "No, i didn't forget, i just have a bad speech issue and stammer to cope and now you feel like an asshole."...

Why not just leave it at >"I know my own name, I just stutter. Adding more to it just adds insult to injury. Also props for becoming a attorney with stuttering....

That happened to me the other day... in court. I'm an attorney and I was speaking to a secretary of the DA to continue a case and she asked my name- of course it stuttered out. She said "don't you eve...

I have a mild stammer, this is how I deal with it.

I have a mild stammer, this is how I deal with it. I remember stuttering since I was about 9 years old. It got so bad, during our appointment with a speech pathologist I broke down and cried. School...

I'm in the UK, and I don't think the BSA run "official" groups like the NSA do. The closest group is 25 miles away, which would be fine but the times don't work for me. I could always start a group th...

been there dude, being asked if i was mentally retarded by a check out clerk at the mall (older lady) was probably one of the hardest hitting insults in my life. you say you have a daughter? If tha...

my therapist told me to advertise you stutter. who gives a rip what they think? it lets the listener know exactly what's going on with you and puts your mind at ease that you wouldnt have to expend so...

its all good, taught me who my real friends are. thanks:) every time i block saying my name they say "oh you forgot you name??" and others like that, its annoying-_- but i dont think iv ever been acc...

This. I do this with all my teachers. I never used too until one teacher made a joke about me being nervous after he called on me, causing the class to chuckle. Ever since then, I just let them know...

After about a week in class my teachers and professors would usually contact me and ask if I wanted any special accommodations. I would always say no because the real world is not going to give me any...

I usually tell my professors I have a stutter at the beginning of the semester. One offered to not call on me unless I raised my hand, but I told her that won't be necessary, and to treat me like any ...

Light contact involves just barely bringing your articulators (lips, tongue, teeth, roof of your mouth-- the oral mechanisms that make contact to form consonants for speech) together when you reach a ...

I always disclose my stutter. It lessens any fear I have about the possible reaction I may receive when I block and usually that helps smooth out my speech :) I would also recommend therapy and lookin...

I've never tried light-contact before. Can you elaborate? Also, I keep telling myself that I'll tell people that I stutter (in cases of doing a presentation), but I can never actually get myself to d...

This is great advice, thank you. When I block, all I can think of is the word / sound I'm stuck on - I try to hit it faster, like an obstacle to jump over and that just makes it worse. Tomorrow (it's...

I'll give some personal experience that's helped me a lot, in hopes you find some of the tips useful. I also stutter, am 22 years old, and I primarily block. I experience some prolongations on initia...

Jjjjjjust a rant.

Jjjjjjust a rant. Everyone I talk to knows I stutter, it's clearly obvious, but I never mention it. Ever. Not to my family, random people I talk to on the phone, anyone. If someone mentions it, I chan...
