First of all I would like to say that my stutter still there but nowadays I am not afraid to speak. I am able to make phone calls, ask a clerk for directions ( sometimes) when I can't find an item o...

First off, howdy dude. We've probably met at a conference. See you in DC? I don't usually advertise unless I'm meeting people I'll be with for a while (ie; my floormates this semester). I joke about ...

Agree with this. Actually, I think disfluent speech is in and of itself not the biggest issue. The issue is that there is a societal assumption that disfluent speech = lack of confidence, reduced inte...

I refuse to allow it to be one and would never bring it up in a professional setting unless I stuttered so badly that the people around me thought something was wrong. In this case I would simply smil...

If i'm talking to someone (or a group of people for a presentation) and I hit a major block, i'll let them know that I have a speech impediment. I have found that this is the best way to go because it...

I realize I'm posting much later than the original post, but I'm glad I stumbled upon this. I'm actually a SLP grad student and I'm conducting research on this exact topic (pertaining to how a disclos...

"Before we start, I just wanted to let you know that I do have a stutter. If there's anything you need me to repeat or if you have any questions about it, please dont hesitate to ask; I'm pretty open ...

Few different scenarios could happen . After you introduce yourself you could say something casual like, "oh and I do stutter, so if you need me to repeat something or any questions pertaining to i...

Sincere question: how does one disclose this without it being perceived as apologetic by the listener? The question is more from the listener's point of view....

I am for it. I don't really do it much but that's because i'm not comfortable with my stutter and myself enough to do it. It's primarily about taking control; owning your stutter. You disclose on your...

Stuttering & Self-disclosure: Opinions?

Stuttering & Self-disclosure: Opinions? Self-disclosure is to reveal to an audience that you stutter before starting a speech/interview. Many speech pathologists advise stutterers to disclose thei...

I don't see how you could possibly come to that conclusion. I've always told people before hand (because it makes sense, not because it was advice), and I've never immediately (or ever) regretted doin...

Look at the bright side, now everyone will know you stutter and they will never ask again. I read this advice in here saying to "think about the next sound" if your really stuck, helped me some. Reme...

My only viable advice for this situation: make a verbal disclaimer beforehand saying you are a person who stutters. It will take tbe pressure off you to be fluent. ...

Don't see why I should have to. If I'm fluent at a given moment, there's no reason to bring it up. Certainly not the other person's business. If I happen to be stuttering at the time, it will usually ...

I don't "advertise" it per say but my friends know I stutter but I do tell some teachers on the the first day. ...

I've always just told people I stutter if it comes up organically, which is surprisingly infrequently. I don't go out of my way to bring it up nor to avoid it....

All my friends and family know about my stutter, but when it comes to new people, I change it up a bit. I tend to have periods of good fluency and periods of bad fluency. When my speech is fine, I don...

If I talk to somebody that doesn't know, I'll let them know just so they're not surprised. Makes sense, since most people haven't encountered somebody who stutters, so the first time they do they migh...

Do you "advertise" your stutter? Why or why not?

Do you "advertise" your stutter? Why or why not? The concept of "advertising" (being intentional about telling people you have a stutter) is something I've wanted to explore lately. People seem to hav...
