This entire post is ludicrous! Sorry, I do not agree at all. I am a severe stutterer of 28 yrs and my tongue even protrudes at times and this "benefits" is similar to a beaten wife saying her husband ...

It has definitely shaped my personality... I could never make fun of anyone growing up because I knew how bad it sucked to get made fun of for stuttering....

that is terrible. I mean, I can maybe understand someone just not getting the whole stuttering thing and not seeing how much of a deal it is to someone like me. But your story takes the cake....that i...

I think changing the public perception of stuttering would go a long way to help all of us. I know for me I don't like stuttering because I'm always thinking of what other people will think of me. Eve...

I agree. Usually people make fun, but this was hilarious to me because Timmy was to deliver a lovely message but he ended up cursing unintentionally. lol...

No one ever laughs at Jimmy for his stammer which I enjoy. Much like how Timmy is just a part of the extended gang despite his obvious handicap, no one says anything about it. Both Timmy and Jimmy jus...

South park is about the only ones that actually makes funny stutter jokes....

I feel that in the current economy with high unemployment rates most employers have the oppertunity to look for the perfect candidate to fill their open position. Every open position get's bombarded b...

Definitely. It's pretty sad actually. One of the worst parts of that is well-intentioned people can be so so misguided about stuttering. Talked to a college advisor about stuttering and she, having a ...

My story or take on stuttering

My story or take on stuttering I have been stuttering all my life and only very recently I have discovered this sub-reddit and I think that it would be appropriate to post my shorter story. I was bo...

I've only met 1 person who knew I had a stutter (or at least was comfortable telling me) and that was only because a family member had it too. Otherwise I always get the "are you okay" or "is somethin...

Yeah I know, but I just wish people were more considerate of things they are not educated about. I think it is a common courtesy which people does not seem to act upon, more often than not. But I thi...

>Despite this, it makes me frustrated that it is perceived as a character flaw rather than a disability; something you can work as opposed to something that you can't help I agree with this, I als...

You are right. Of course people can't have knowledge of how to react in situations which they are strangers to. I believe the zero stuttering awareness thing is a main issue as well. Despite this, it...

Hate to be negative but you actually fucking right. Ive never experienced girls talking down on my stuttering to my face but as a man with a thing for gossip, youll be surprised how much it matters to...

I get really uncomfortable being around other stutterers or even listening to myself talk, I think we've just been conditioned to feel the social stigma....

Usually people aren't trying to be inconsiderate, they are usually caught off guard and don't know how to react. Laughing, or saying a joke about it is there was of breaking the tension in the situati...

I guess it is good for creating awareness, unfortunately this does not give me more confidence. Just reminds me of how inconsiderate people can be. One girl even laughed......

Really good for making people realize how much of a bother stuttering is....

"You wouldn't make fun of someone with down syndrome, why would you make fun of stuttering?" Because stuttering isn't widely known as a disability. Good speakers stutter sometimes too, it's normal. Y...
