I'll bite. You could argue that as is the case with many disabilities it allows you to appreciate all the things you do have that others may be more likely to take for granted. Potential future topi...

Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but ... For adults who stutter the vast majority have atypical brain activity during speech production and language processing tasks compared to adults who do not stutter. ...

Oh definitely being a stutterer has changed my life and daily decisions I make. I've always wondered what I would be like if I didnt stutter, probably just another narcissistic loud mouthed brat =P...

this sounds a bit like me. I changed schools then started getting blocks. I get blocks quite often still but it has improved slightly. It did used to be very severe though. I'm not the best speaker as...

Yes, when with close friends I would stutter slightly, in a room full of people I don't really know, it comes out. When drunk I just slur my words....

I've had this discussion with my family and they honestly can't remember that I stuttered as a child. It would've began somewhere around 13/14/15 and has continued since that point. Before that I was ...

A comment on some of the posts I see here offering help First off - this a fantastic subreddit. I can't believe it took me this long to think of searching for it! I've stuttered my entire life (I am...

Don't beat yourself up over it. You win some you lose some. I play competitive NS2 (/r/ns2 plug) for the current rank 2 team in Australia and top 8 or so in the world and you can bet your ass that I...

With age it gets better, you slowly adjust. I married a great woman that loves to speak and she has bailed me out many of times. I'm 50 + and I swear I created my own language so I can communicate wit...

I know how you are feeling and life does get better with age. I'm in the 50 ++ bracket just so you know. I remember countless incidents in life just how you explained. Also a time when I felt honored ...

Other severe stutters, how do you cope? I have a moderate to severe stutter. On good days it's a 7/10 and on bad days its a 9/10 or 10/10 on the severity scale. I can block/stutter on basicly every si...

No, I don't think I've ever told someone I have a stutter (I'm sure most people figure it out). I'm sure I had some minor disfluencies during the interview; I typically don't notice when I'm stutteri...
