You said it yourself - people think you might be having a seizure. *New people do not know you stutter*. Please get/make a nametag to wear on a lanyard with your name and just the relevant info. I a...

I think there’s so much resistance to disclosing in some way bc people think it makes them look weak. When in fact, not being to ask for the exact meal you want, make a casual joke, explain why you t...

>disclosing is extremely helpful Disclosing also helps prevent miscommunication. For example, here's someone with speech impediment saying "don't have a good day. have a great day" to someone they...

Do you block and have avoidance behaviors(switching words, avoiding eye contact, avoiding conversations, etc? those things are almost entirely due to anticipation anxiety. Unfortunately, the way to ...

I would talk to the assistant coach- frame it like, “hey we are role models so come on no bullying around the kids, right?” That should help show them they were wrong without you seeming “too sensitiv...

Talk to that 7-month-old. All the time and about everything. Tell the assistant coach that they can knock that off immediately. It's not funny and that if it happens again you don't need his help wit...

I just tell the person “btw I stutter, hope you don’t mind” and then go ahead and say whatever the heck I was gonna say. I don’t hide my stammer any more than someone with Cerebral Palsy would hide th...

I'm currently in Army Cyber School (17C - Cyber Operations Specialist), and I have a stutter. Although I don't speak into radios, I do have to talk in a group setting and give presentations to higher-...

Also look at this SLPs video who gave a speech to NSA about the mechanism that is stopping airflow to your vocal chords. Valsalva maneuver - unwanted automatic clenching of lower core muscles that im...

Break the ice… Let them know and they will find it that you are very courageous to expose a vulnerable part of yourself so upright and with that they will respect you even more. I did it at work. I st...

Someone doing the most right here. thank you for helping. Like, what if my brain can't "just slow down" what then. Stuttering may be incurable for many of us but it's not as though it's TERMINAL. the...

Sorry to hear that king but it more sounds like you need to surround yourself with better people that aren´t judgemental. That is the actual problem and realising that can add a sense of control to yo...

I am not entirely sure. Maybe trying to say or do the same things or when I am upfront and say I have a stutter the response is usually really positive....

I'm going to join this opinion based on my personal experience. I was also against even mentioning that I'm stuttering to somebody else, but after talking with others in our local self help group an...

i usually just kinda stare at them silently or just do an obvious fake laugh or say "wow ur so funny" with a straight face, that usually gets them to back off...

as embarrassing as it is to have a stutter. i have called out a few people for mocking me in public/ school. usually ends with them being embarrassed for acting so childish. Because I have a stutter i...

I don't even remember if I had any offensive comments about my stutter. I'm not sure how I would react now....

I'm at an age now where nobody really makes fun of it to my face anymore, even in otherwise tense situations. If they do, I stop talking to them and walk away, therefore making them look like the assh...

Ohhh I gotcha now. I was more picturing someone knowing you have a disability and making fun of you for that. I don’t really fault anyone who awkwardly laughs although by definition they are ignorant ...

I’m not sure what you mean. If you’re successfully hiding your stutter then nobody would have anything to make fun of you for? I was saying that someone who makes fun of a person who is clearly havi...
