Agree on a mid-sentence alert that you could use when you get interrupted mid-sentence. Something like just saying "mid-sentence!" or tapping your chest. So when the group hears your mid-sentence aler...

Tell her that you are not done speaking ... lean into it, it will make this teacher look like an asshole, it also forces her to acknowledge that you are there....

Why don't we down right ASK a person "why are you creeped out by my stuttering problem...if you had a missing limb would I be freaked out by you??? "----That's something I would like to do...but I wo...

Perfect lol. Pick something that you know they hate (and/or insecure) about themselves and jam it in their face. Or wait a minute and maybe she’ll apologize for a rash frustrated comment. Families a...

I like how you reflected on it, I agree that people aren't intending to be rude, they just aren't used to living in that discomfort. That's a discomfort that we know all too well, but I guess for thos...

I am really rude if someone does this to me. My response has been well at least I am not a fat ugly cunt. Really takes them by surprise to be fair. If she wants to throw stones throw some back....

She doesn’t sound entirely supportive. I think the best approach is to communicate to her, in whichever way is most comfortable *to you*, how unhelpful what she decided to do can be. No offence but s...

be okay with taking up space, whether that means having to repeat yourself louder or physically take up room, and some people legit aren’t aware of their interruption habits so I’ve accepted it and mi...

Why can we not blame them?? Others wait just fine, so why should we excuse one person who is uncomfortable? Stuttering is uncomfortable for us too and just because thats how they handle discomfort, do...

Okay but why is their instinct to act on their discomfort? I think that people in general could use a lesson on thinking about what they’re about to say....

Other people reaction

Other people reaction It sucks when we stutter in front of someone. They make silly joke´s, think we forgot our name, look us with a weird expression. I heard a history of someone thinking a PWS was r...

Point is to make them own the fact that they’ve been rude, bc, stutter or no stutter, it’s a rude thing to say....

Haven't heard this said to me in a long time but if I did I'd just reply, "Did I stutter ?" And I'd probably purposefully stutter on the word stutter, in case the person is a legit retard....

I don’t like letting people get away with talking stupid shit. Try making ‘em pay for it next time! If a salesman feels like he offended you, it could even give you the upper hand in your dealings wit...

I get this about once a month or so (I have to make a lot of phone calls for work). It’s always been one of my least favourite “jokes” that people tell me when I’m blocking on my name. To combat it, I...

Somethings you just never get over

Somethings you just never get over I'm 36 and have stuttered for my entire life that I can remember. One thing I can never get over is the impatience in some people, they sigh, they start talking to a...

I just have to be honest at the very start and expect the bare minimum of patience and respect. If you don’t disclose, you put more unnecessary pressure on yourself and sadly most listeners seem to ta...
