I completely agree. Besides, the problem is that many stutterers are ashamed of it. We should make noise, protest. But whoever takes the microphone to speak... will stutter!! Hahaha, it gives me anxie...

Partially because it's a very complex yet "benign" disorder, and partially because people who stutter are not being vocal (pun intended) about drawing attention to themselves, setting an agenda, and a...

Yeah I think its viewed as a cosmetic issue to some extent. Its interesting because there are certain drugs which are approved by the FDA for the treatment of tourettes and autism but this is mostly b...

I have stuttered for 50+ years now. My experience is that many insecure people have found that belittling someone else makes them feel powerful (in the moment) and that may fuel their self esteem or e...

Both dating life and life in general I do not get taken seriously due to stuttering. Have stuttered my entire life...

I understand your feelings and I’m sure other people feel the same way. Personally, my experience with stuttering has created unbearable anger within me. I feel like society has taught me that I’m not...

SAME! I just came from a job fair, and I stuttered horribly, and almost everyone had a negative reaction to it. It's like they want to hire people with perfect speech. So unrealistic. You went through...

i agree, i used to think very negatively about myself about it (and i still do at times) but then i tried thinking positive about it to find comfort in it, and i realized it has made me become very pa...

I will always HATE Porky Pig because it was every bully's go-to nickname for me growing up. When you actually look at Mel Blanc's characters, most of them are based around making fun of verbal disflue...

How sad and cool is this. Sad people can’t ignore his stutter, but cool he can silence the haters. ...

I'd try to speak to that fucker, explain him that what he does is just wrong. Or talk to the hr, whatever superiors you have and tell them about it. Use some serious language like "using your disabi...

No, it's not normal. Well, in these people's moral compass it's normal, but in general it's not. I don't know how to handle this right. Usually I just do the same towards them ha-ha or ignore them, bu...

Jimmy. He and his stutter is treated as an actual character in a story, and it’s actually really good representation than Porky Pig, who was obviously created just for comedic relief....

You really seem to have this harmful victim blaming mindset. I can assure you a majority of people have been bullied, laughed at, discriminated, teased, mocked, infantilized, and harassed because of ...

Came for this comment. I have always felt she was faking, but no concrete proof. She had tics, which just disappeared. Didn't she also claim to have tourettes? She'll be raking it in with her big soci...

I was looking for this comment! If you look back at old videos, you can see how bad the stutter sounds and with time, it has gotten a lot more realistic sounding. Obviously no-one will want to be the ...

Same I'm a arab/Jamaican male 22 in nyc who stutters with mostly the same problems. I had therapy in school but that didn't seem to help as much and still now have the same anxiety / speech problems. ...

Except we also deal with stuffs and also we stutter. Stuttering makes everything harder. I can't simply share a story to friends and strangers. I can't get this job because it involves lot of  talking...

Funny thing when i was younger my dad thought i stuttered because i was copying porky and stopped me from watching looney toons😭...

I started stuttering age 11 or 12. Before that I was fluent.  I was in speech therapy when I was five or six years old. But that was because of "s" and "sh" sounds I seem to have had problems with. ...
