My first thought was that I wish I had your teacher but I can see how that would still sting if it's obvious that he's exuding you. It might be that he thinks he's helping rather than any malicious in...

That happened to me and I met in private with the teacher and expressed my concerns as a PWS. The teacher instead of doing the roll call method, she just asked who would like to read. The school is...

i agree that it is a blessing, despite the difficulty. it made me better and it made me honestly assess myself. in terms of finding my voice, it also made me extremely in favour of free speech. when...

Hi! I’m teacher and have several students who stutter. First, not sure where you go to school but you likely qualify for an IEP if your disfluencies impact you ability to participate in discussions or...

My son has a robust IEP for his genetic disorder. I guess I just never thought stuttering really qualified for any accommodation other than patience and I guess therapy. We just didn't have a protocol...

No, but I did sign up with the disability office in college so I could get out of a class presentation. Worst decision of my life. I'm a member of my local NSA chapter and I've met dozens of people ...

I am minoring in ASL and have a stutter. I found that if I finger spell during speaking it made the sounds come out more smoothly then without it. It keeps up the ASL practice while still speaking. No...

The time you spend learning ASL could be spent in speech therapy. I am a mod-severe person who stutters. I also know ASL. One can still be a good communicator and stutter. I would rather speak...

Learning ASL is not going to help a person become more functional in day to day life. If they imbed themselves in the dead community, maybe. It’s like saying, “I stutter in English but not in Germ...

I just texted him this subreddit and he told me to say this (he doesn't do reddit): "ASL has opened many doors for me not just as a communicator but also in my career. I teach fine art at a deaf scho...

If someone befriends or joins a deaf community, it would be a ”functional form of communication” for them in everyday life. By your reasoning, deaf people shouldn’t learn ASL but should just stick to ...

Unfortunately not everyone knows ASL so it is not a functional form of communication in everyday life. If you get to that point pull out a pen and paper. More people are literate than know ASL. ...

I grew up with a group of male cousins and brothers, one of whom stuttered severely. When we were in Uni, my stutter seemed to improve tremendously while his got progressively worse. One day we were h...

It's not one vote out of millions. Many local elections have a multitude of candidates who really believe in what they are doing, and have razor thin margins, and remember that all electeds get their ...

I used to think like you, and I didn't register in time to vote for this election, and I've realized that i felt bad about not voting, even though I don't like following politics. It's not that hard t...

So they know you have a stutter and still punish you or they just think you suck at speaking the language? In USA you can probably fight that..I'm not sure though I don't think it is officially labele...

I just took mine with me to avoid that shit. They were like "oh you don't need an ID". I'm like "well here it is anyways, should be a requirement either ways."...
