>We all stuttered as children, before we actually believed we had a problem. The moment we stopped just stuttering and became stutterers was the moment we started worrying about it. Hit me like a ...

I don't prefer writing to speaking, but I am a fairly decent writer and I think it might have something to do with having a stutter. I'm studying to become a teacher, but writing is my real passion. ...

Anyone else a better writer than speaker?

Anyone else a better writer than speaker? I've stuttered my whole life (it's been getting better as I've gotten older and don't think about it as much as I used to) and, since conversing with people w...

I'm 22 and have been stuttering all my life as well, and have experienced nearly everything you mentioned. My father had anger management issues when I was a kid and life was pretty stressful at times...

How did you get over your confidence issues?

How did you get over your confidence issues? I've been a PWS (Person who stutters) since I was a kid and it has shaped who I am to a great extent. I only stutter about 5-7% of the time (as per tests I...

Just Jay: A Short Intro

Just Jay: A Short Intro I just wanted to introduce myself, I watched the King's Speech just now and felt compelled to find a subreddit. And if there wasn't one I was gonna make it. I'm glad I didn't h...

I felt like you're a version of me but at somewhere else. I'm also stuttering but people barely notice it....

Hi there, It's good that you found something that make you "forget" your stuttering. I don't know if this is the same for you, but for me the real problem was a lack of self-confidence. Maybe playin...

well, it's the form of reddit, isn't it? have you ever noticed someone on reddit having a stutter, besides the person outright telling you? on reddit we can just be and communicate just as everyone e...

I tend to have a really tough time with 'H' sounds, which is a pain in the ass because my name begins with an 'H'. This means that every time I have to introduce myself, it takes me a second or so to ...

Yeah! It's stuff like that. I've never met another person who has a similar situation. It's just good to know that I'm not alone on this. Growing up with this stutter, and still having it after everyb...

I can understand this concern, but in a way it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. If you believe that a stutterer can't command respect, then that filters through into your body language and all of t...

23 years old, severe stutterer for my entire speaking life. You have a great opportunity here to own your stutter and be the better person. (Which it sounds like you already are.) If you don't let i...

Whenever I have to introduce myself to someone, I am generally mortified with the entire situation. Saying my name always, without fail, brings out the worst stutter in me. There were a couple times I...

Same here. I used to tell nobody that I stutter. But some people know, now. But they said, they never realised until I told them. That made me proud, because I have to restructure almost every sentenc...

Mel Blanc used Dougherty's actual stutter with an interpretation of a farm pig's sound to develop Porky. ...

Hey man I have been at this major research center for stuttering all day today and just saw a big presentation about what real research shows about stuttering. According to these guys (who have been t...

I think we are having a misunderstanding based on semantics. It is impossible for someone without a stutter to stutter. They may be disfluent. They may be extraordinarily disfluent. However the disflu...

Well so far it has been a very informative book. It's really written for Speech Pathologist's but he does not use any technical language for us non Pathologist's. The book is really centered aroun...

I used to stutter quite a lot. Slowly it's getting better. My only cure was to just keep talking I guess, as nowadays it's pretty rare. When I mentioned it to my girlfriend the first time, she said sh...
