I understand. Tbh, you are going to be weird if you cough or fake an injury whenever you say certain words. They will still want to know your name. If someone asks my name I say. “I’m R-. R-… I stutt...

Whenever an adult makes fun of my stutter, I tell them why are you making fun of my disability? Usually makes them look like assholes and they feel like crap...

The day I learned that it’s okay to call people who make fun of my stutter “cunts” or whatever is most likely to offend them was the best day of my life. I’m not trying to be an asshole, but faking ...

Thank you for taking time to respond. I appreciate your point of view. I’m thankful to hear so many of you say to let them be the first to acknowledge their stuttering, if and when they want to. I w...

I noticed you said “a lot recently” so just going to assume this is something you bring up to people often. It’s like with anything else — people often discount what they take for granted (in this cas...

I think the fact that your boss makes you feel uncomfortable or less than for something you don't have control over is pretty sad. Does he not view stuttering as a speech disorder. I would schedule a ...

Thanks for posting and asking! I agree with the previous not to bring it up unless they do. What you are doing now is perfect. I so appreciate when people just wait me out and ignore it. I think abou...

I think what you're doing now is fine. I would add, do not mention or bring up their stutter unless they do first. Additionally, waiting for them to finish speaking and not interrupting them is defini...

Advice Requested - What do you wish you didn’t need to tell everyone?

If you’re not bothered by this then your conscience has a tremendous blind spot. Can I use the N-word to tease a black personal? Throw a midget? Laugh at a person with a cleft palet or a shriveled arm...

it’s also okay to teach your children that people are bullies sometimes. people are cruel, and it’s unfortunately a good idea to brace children for this experience especially when they have a disabili...

> You can fake a throat injury. OP is excelling and moving forward. Why would anyone suggest such a cowardly act as faking an illness or injury? The regret and shame of punking out is always worse ...

Love this, I recommend skipping the apology. Just state it as a matter of fact: “I am a person who stutters, you’ll hear me (insert your dominant form of stuttering: blocking, repetition, elongation, ...

This! After figuring this out it’s worked wonders, especially in a formal setting, they go “Name?” I’ll go “Mr Chief, Mighty Chief”. Yes you sound like James Bond but it’s helped my confidence when as...

If I am ignored in the middle of the block, I usually just call them out on it. Seems to have worked well...

Just don’t say anything at all next time and sit there in silence with a grin on your face. Life is hard enough as it is sometimes you just have to be an asshole back....

My goto answer is "Incorrecto. I like speaking. I just have a speech impediment." Your answer "I prefer listening" seems popular among introverts. "Why are you loud?" seems popular among angry chihu...

I know it's frustrating. It's like Joe Biden himself said, and I'm paraphrasing, "It's the only thing people still think it's ok to laugh at." Personally, I wish Biden would have talked about it mor...

To be clear, this is not how most adults behave, so that lady and the people making fun of him are genuinely sounds like a certified pile of $h!t. Don’t let this get to you or your husband. I know t...
