Do I Stutter? Blog http://www.didistutter.org/blog "...Of course the vast majority of us who have been to speech therapy have experience this outright—the assumption that it is my speech (not the bia...

Sometimes it does make sense to ask for a difference in behavior, though. I've had some periods where I've informed people that they needn't try finishing my sentences, since I'll get to it eventually...

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. You should have been able to show your ID and/or share your polling card. Especially if there's elderly people voting that have communication issues too. See if there's...

Was going to say this. Disabled people are no less able to vote. Bring a few sticky notes and write down your name when prompted. In other situations the worse that can happen is you order the wrong t...

Do you have to actually say your name out loud for it to count? I mean, what do they do in the case of mute people?...

Man that really sucks, I'm sorry. If you bring your polling card with you it may be ok to just hand that over without saying anything? ...

If they pass you over because you stutter, it's discrimination. I get what you're saying, and that's why in-person interviews are so important, because you're typically able to better convey your know...

Be up front about it as much as you can, request in person interviews, and don't be afraid to mention that you have an actual *disability* if companies give you shit about it. It's illegal to discrimi...

So, speech fluency (e.g., stuttering) and language fluency (French proficiency) are not the same thing. When your teacher says fluency is expected she/he is talking about your proficiency and knowledg...

Bonjour! My advice is everyone else's. Try and stomache up the courage to tell your teacher. They should understand and try and work with you on a solution. Edit: If you're in college, you will pro...

Does your teacher know about your stutter? If not, let him or her know, they'll most likely be fine with it. I had the same thing for my German class, the teacher let me go slow and ignored the stutte...
