hello, 27M here 👋🏼 high school was rough for me as well, even to the point where one time we were having a class debate and one of my English teachers literally docked me (and my team) points becaus...
First, tell her why you hung up. Because she might be thinking you hung up because you were mad, and it would help to let her know that’s not why. Then, I’d just talk to her (maybe over text if that’...
I usually wait until it happens and then just say something like, "sorry, I have a speech impediment." I know we're not supposed to apologize for it but I've found that it disarms people in the initia...
It’s ok everybody has bombed a job interview sometime in their life. Even people who don’t stutter. The more you interview the better you’ll get at it. One thing that helps me is before i start the in...
It probably doesn’t feel like it, but this is a massive opportunity for you. Disclose your stuttering at the beginning of your first presentation, and then remind them at the beginning of every subseq...
The advice I’ll give you is the advice I would give anyone who has something “unsexy” about them that’s dragging their confidence down. Try to find the things about yourself that you do find sexy. T...
It might come in time, but my experience was that I needed more specific knowledge/tools. You are 100% right that The more you try to not stutter (repetitions/prolongations) , the more you stutter ...
Dude so many words on what doesn’t work, what a waste of time. Just focus on your thoughts on what does work, much more efficient. And if you are doing something, something you clearly do, be open an...
Thanks for this. I haven’t talked with the teacher about it. Agreed, usually if I say “sorry I have a stutter” the response is overwhelmingly positive....
Yes, absolutely. I’m in college right now and the very first thing I do on day 1 is either pass them a note or have a conversation explaining that I have a neurological disability I can’t control and ...
You have some interesting insights and have clearly done a ton of work! Also, I’d like you and others to know there are SLPs who specialize in dysfluency who have helped many people become more comfo...
You’re story is very inspirational I really hope I can reach that point in my interviewing journey. Btw I tried telling beforehand that I stutter and it end up in not hearing back from the company so ...
basically, everyone has occasional repetitions/prolongations, even more as young children. If someone gave you the impression that your repetitions were an issue, and you wanted to do better, you ma...
The teacher doesn't care
The teacher doesn't care My english teacher, who already doesn't like me, is starting to mark me down points on public speaking because "im not confident enough." If you know me, you know i am overly ...
>One question though, what does "syntactic growth" refer to? I googled it and understand it's related to the ability to construct sentences, but what exactly does it mean in this context? The four...
Also, I'll add the point that as a pws, the relationships you build with students are very important... more important than a clever class. Get to know their names, and Practice using them whenever yo...
Definitely a technique I have used, though I've also had comments about "no need to talk so loud," or "use your inside voice" when I have been carried away....
One helpful thing is to take up space with your voice. Your goal should be to talk a little louder than normal talking but still within range so people don’t get mad about your noise. Enunciate your s...
Unfortunately, the best thing is going to sound contradictory, but it’s what’s suggested by SLPs who specialize in dysfluency, or are PWS also. Let people know you stutter. Bad blocks happen becaus...
Only advice I can give is to introduce yourself as someone who has a stutter before you go through with the icebreaker. Maybe talk to the professor beforehand and ask him if he can maybe disclose that...
