I'm right there with you -- not recovered and unsure why. (and I'm a speech pathologist with 3/4ths of a PhD in communication disorders) The scientist in me wants to know why, wants to investigate. W...

My dad. He stuttered till he was 40. Not sure how he overcame it though, but I believe it's due to age. Like, you will most likely not stutter in front of kids because they are much younger than you a...

I'm a children's educator, which is close but not the same thing. It's informal education, kind of like kindergarten for older kids where we learn shit and have fun. Most kids are aware of my stutter...

Yeah I like talking. Though my stutter isn't psychological and there isn't a lot I can do about it, so I just force through it. Since I've worked with children, I've helped a few of them feel better ...

Well it certainly wasn't easy I can tell you that. And it's a constant, ongoing thing that I have to work at daily. One thing that helped me greatly though was talking to people close to me (friends...

No problem, I just figured I'd share. I think you bring up a good point, what children will recover and who won't, and why? I for one have not recovered. Why? No idea....

Don't worry about it! You make a good point, I don't think people who stutter should be defined by their stuttering too. ...

Hmmm, whatever works, I guess! However, I oppose telling people about your stutter without them asking about it, right at the outset when meeting someone for the first time or for an interview. I pers...

Any stutter/speech related tattoos ideas? I've always felt stuttering has had an impact in my life and I wanted to look into some tattoo ideas.

Gotcha. I think I've had the same experience. When I self-identified myself as a stutterer, my stuttering slightly increased when I was talking my thoughts to myself....

I never remember stuttering when talking to myself until after I started self-identifying as having a stutter. I think it came from playing imaginary scenarios in my head that involved me stuttering. ...

Awesome! I too am a student (undergraduate) who stutters. Myself and a buddy in the major (now a grad student) are starting a NSA chapter here in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Huge thumbs up for doing this. ...

I like what you said, but, since both views are presented in an honest way, presenting ONLY/MOSTLY those who have your experience would not represent the current truth. I do hope, however, other cultu...

Well obviously every person responds to their stutter differently. I spent a lot of time being one of those "anxiety wrecks" until fairly recently but I know that there are plenty of people who stutte...

I really dont like that way this thing shaped out in the beginning, presenting stutterers as depressed anxiety wrecks. I really could only see myself in that last guy. Im a pretty heavy stutterer but...

I am a SLP graduate student and a person who stutters. A member of my National Stuttering Association group is making a feature-length documentary about people who stutter and the affect it has on our...

Yes, i've always stutter, but i have never seen it as an illness or a disability. It's just part of me....

Stutters do usually develop in children so this is a little interesting. The best advice is just to not overstress about it. I know its impossible to ignore it or not let it affect you, but remember, ...

Recently developed a stutter

Recently developed a stutter I'm 22 and I recently developed a stutter. It can be really frustrating if I'm talking to my boss or on the phone or trying to order movie tickets and it's gotten to the p...

Going into high school I gave up on therapy because I didn't see the point anymore. But now I actually want to get into speech pathology as a career. I wish you the best of luck! For lack of better wo...
