Know what you are talking about, tell your professor/ta that you have a stutter. Even if you fail in a university, its better than failing in a professional environment....

It varies, some smile, some smirk, some are a little confused. I’ve only had one person try to make fun of it but he was in handcuffs and strung out on drugs. What plays a big role is how you deal w...

It's always a dilemma in my head: Do I want to just move on with the conversation, or do I want to maintain the feeling of autonomy?...

A chronic interrupter once asked me my preference. I thought about it. I told them, guess just one next word, not the rest of my sentence, and only when I am blocking for longer than my average. I had...

Do you know what I did when this happened to me? I finnished my sentence anyway (+15 seconds) and deep in my heart was enjoying their even bigger discomfort, like "No, we will do it my way, lol"...

You need to start setting boundaries, and strongly voicing how you feel when they nag you. There is no way around it. It might lead to some conflict in the short term, but you have to make them unders...

then how about this approach. Instead of saying "I ask for your patience.", say "interrupting someone who stutters, that is like... tickling someone who is gassy. It's a huge risk."...

I get what you’re saying. My point is that bullying doesn’t stop after high school. You can’t define your worth on someone’s else’s opinion of you. The time to learn that lesson is now because every t...

Interesting.. I've been through this before, but now I make sure I'm heard if its important. You're gonna wait for me to say my piece if you ask me a question or were gonna argue 😂...

You don't know if he's insecure or not. And not everyone is open and comfortable having it pointed out, even by another PWS...

They usually don’t like to have it pointed out by people who don’t stutter. It comes off almost accusing and puts them on the spot. It’d be completely different if another stutterer mentioned it beca...

Theres a good chance he thought nothing of it. All the time I hear fluent speakers slip up and don’t think “hey they’re making fun of me.” If its still bothering you by the next appointment then you s...

Yes! Please call him and explain. You know how it feels if you feel mocked. He’ll appreciate it and you’ll form a bond....

What is not (morally) expected regarding stuttering? What do you consider supererogatory in relation to stuttering?

if i were you, prob say something next appt. talk a lot, maybe you will stutter, then he can figure it out. he prob all ready forgot about this whole situation tbh....

Let him know what you truly feel. You don’t have to feel awkward, just let him know what you truly feel, he might not know how to reply to your concern but he will surely appreciate your concern...

I don't know if I would necessarily do this. Some people don't like to have their stutterers pointed out and it might make them more self conscious. A regular thank you email is always nice though....

I'd drop him a friendly email saying thank you for the work done and that it was great to meet a fellow stutterer and that you're looking forward to the next appointment. It's always a good thing to ...

I had a slightly similar experience and kicked myself for not following up. (Had a minor heart procedure with 6 hrs in recovery room, unable to move. Nurse forgot to give me call button and I blocke...

In general tho, disclosing, having regular eye contact and beginning on a regular exhale will go a long long way to decrease blocks....
