Letter to Parents: Let Your Children Finish Their Sentences and End Stuttering Stigma Dear Parents of the Universe, I want to talk to you about something that's been weighing heavy on my heart – the...

Yes, particularly I find useful in job interviews when I disclose to ensure this is the right team for me too!...

Good for you hun! Don't let it hold u back from enjoying yourself. Just be careful out there!..solo traveling isn't very safe. even for me as a man I learned to stay in populated areas and stay aware ...

I sure hope things have changed. Just letting it fly got me ridiculed throughout the five years of highschool (Australian). My advice is, if nothing has changed, to tell the teacher beforehand to work...

I use my stutter as a radar for who I should give attention to and who not. If you don’t have the patience and understanding for me, you’re probably not someone I’d want to be dealing with anyway. But...

I’m a scientist. Mines is not as severe anymore, but what helps me is practicing before interviews. I try to practice what I plan on speaking about as well as mindfulness to calm my anxiety (which mak...

Everyone knows at the hospital I work in because I've trained them all, and when I travel the country, I disclose and get on with it. It's not really a big deal. I can't hide my stutter so why fig...

Disclose to the panel that you have a stutter before you start. That way you can take your time and not worry about what they might be thinking. It also displays courage...

Unless this is your first time talking to her ever, she already knows you stutter. Periods of very mild stuttering may seem perfectly fluent to us, but people still notice. I promise you she doesn't c...

true. but that just means theyre stupid and ignorant. plenty of people have speech impediments and are unable to properly order at the drive thru. thats why they say just pull up to the window to orde...

You've probably already done this but can you speak to your school about accommodations for your stutter ...

Take this matter with some higher authority, probably to the Principal. I had teachers like these in my school, assh\*les who didn't give a damn about my stutter, made fun of me in front of the class,...

Go to her manager and fucking complain. Now I'm older and out of school, it's something I wish I did....

I second this; I've had to do this with my co-workers. Ignoring it or not emphasizing its severity only emboldens them to continuing acting disrespectfully....

It can certainly be isolating if you let the fear hold you back. So then the question becomes, how to overcome the fears associated with stuttering? How do you overcome any fear? You have to put yours...

I’m gonna be a bit different and brutally honest. Do not accept that type of behavior around - especially for speech impediments.You’re too old to tolerate disrespect and need to inform people in a wa...

You need to speak with a guidance counselor or school psychiatrists to have it documented. Request an ADA accommodation and force your teacher to learn what stuttering is basically. I'm so sorry you h...

Finishing sentences is definitely really annoying, but I live in Florida so I’m very used to ignorant people. If it’s a stranger I don’t mind as much (they’re just dumb) but if someone who knows finis...
