I think once he saw that it wasn't something within my control he felt pretty shitty. It wasn't my intention, and at least he has shown remorse for it (unlike other people I've encountered). I was jus...

He sounds insensitive in my opinion. I've never been in your position but you could maybe have a serious discussion with him? I've realised once you educate people on stuttering they start to understa...

Hmmmm I would wear that but I know I'd recieve hundreds of snide remarks on my college campus because of it... Fuck people right? ...

I've been trying to spread the message on my hat to as many folks as possible, online and within my city, as I have become tired of the "woe-is-me" attitude among stutters as well as the disrespect from those who are fluent speakers. I hope this inspires you!

I just read an article about how to help with the stuttering... Maybe someone likes to improve the situation or wants to help someone who stutters. I liked this blog. One was about self help at home...

In view of Stuttering Awareness Day (Oct 22), tell your story.

In view of Stuttering Awareness Day (Oct 22), tell your story. My story: I have stuttered since I could remember, mine is rather pronounced but not severe. I cannot hide it but I have managed with it...

I thought that going into an engineering field would be very welcoming to a stutterer. I see tons of non-native English speakers being treated very well if they have a hard time in a presentation. W...

I always wonder how many jobs I was denied because I stuttered in the interview. It sucks because you can't really prove that's why you weren't hired. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1996...

Is my stutter "unprofessional" and does it make me sound like I don't know what I'm talking about?

Is my stutter "unprofessional" and does it make me sound like I don't know what I'm talking about? I'm very upset right now. I am an engineering student and just returned from an important lab demons...

Try living in Australia where people are very brutal with it. I'll be at a shop buying a coke and the guy will say "Com'on mate spit it out!" I'll even tell people I have a disability or a stutter and...

Usually I just excuse myself and try to say it again, and if the second attempt fails I say that I can't say it and apologise (is that ironic? It amuses me a little). In general my block is worse with...

I'll be honest, I was not able to get through your article at the moment because I'm on vacation with family and chasing my 1 year old around. What I did read of it I liked though. It's very thoughtfu...

Damn, that must have been rough. Bad enough with oral reports, but the reading out loud by the rows must have been hell. ...

I work at a McAlisters Deli as a cashier and i know exactly what you mean and feel. I have this one older guy that comes in like every day that has a stutter too we love how irritated people get when ...

I'm in the same boat brother, I was always the one who would sit at the back of the class (in the corner) and try hide behind the people in front of me so I would not get asked a question. I always dr...

Oh man I wish that was the case but I do work in fast food and people do get pissed :( I've had to deal with really rude customers telling me all kinds of things about my stuttering! ...

Personally I have never had someone not want to be my friend because I stuttered. I've never had a girl reject me because I stuttered. Kids can be cruel, but adults are different. Of course you will h...

I'm not trying to minimize your experience. But here's the thing: unless someone tells you their stereotypes about stuttering / anxiety / whatever you don't actually know that person's stereotypes. ...

If you never went to school, and you knew you were smart, other people (say, potential employers) might be of a certain opinion of you, and that'll impact how you'll be able to interact with them, and...

I don't think we can rely on how society views stuttering to be reliable. If we take that to be the standard then our stuttering is the result of some internal psychological conflict, the result of so...
