One thing I’ve found to help for important conversations that I know are coming up is: 1) practice what I’m going to say and intentionally stutter. As in, I w-w-want to meet with you b-b-b-because… et...

The comment above here is great. I'm going to add on. Some of us will feel pressure to speak faster, not hold people up. Let him know it's ok to stutter, it's not a big deal. If he's blocking a lot an...

In high stakes situations like these, ALWAYS disclose your stutter. It takes the elephant out of the room and it definitely reduces your anxiety and self monitoring around your stutter. It’s like taki...

Just know that your sister will always continue to stutter, some days more, some days less. A good therapist will teach her to advocate for herself and that she is perfect, just speak a little differe...

If I had to do it, I would try just starting a small talk conversation just to break that initial barrier e.g. ask her if she's still using blah blah equipment, or at the bubbler where you have water....

Tell her about it. Maybe not in the first sentence when meeting but when you guys are having a convo. It releases lots of tension in my experience...

These people are hiding behind the anonymity of this platform to type whatever lies they want. I am officially challenging these 'toxic positivity' types: reveal your real identity first. After that, ...

teachers sometimes forget. it's ok to send another email or just talk to her like "i sent you an email a few days ago. it's about \[...\]" to 'remind' her....

i think a better accommodation to ask is "let me finish. my apparent pauses may take 10 seconds to one minute." or something like that. don't avoid speaking in class. ...

You should of explained your disability before hand. I post this comment in this reddit a lot but it always holds true. A professor wouldnt take points away from a person in a wheelchair for not stand...

I grew laid back too, but I was very skinny and non-confrontational, so people used to always try to slap box and get their rocks off on me. Over the past few years, I've been training boxing and lift...

Lol yup, I'm pretty big but used to be more laid back and accepted whatever. Now I make it known when I have an issue and people are lowkey afraid of me ...

Yup. Calling people on on their poor behavior will make them respect you. As a stutterer, a big advantage we have is that it is much easier for us to "guilt trip." Most people don't think they are ev...

I loved this shit. Over the past few years, I've become a lot more confrontational about people disrespecting my stutter or anything else about me. They call me "sensitive" now. So be it......

“I’d love to teach that kid a thing or two about how to teach people. Talk me down…” Sad, angry, furious…. Don’t let anyone pacify you or gaslight that is no big deal. You are your son’s first and fo...

I told him to say “I stutter. Who cares?” Next time anyone says anything. I wish I could give him my attitude to take in his back pocket. Though that might result in a little more sass than he needs. ...

This is what I started doing in my adulthood and it works for some reason . When I was a child,I just took all the bullying and jokes. But now I'm just like '' yeah I stutter'' and they get so awkward...

Teach your child some responses to have in his back pocket. When people laugh at my stutter, I respond in the straightest face possible “I have a stutter.” And then go silent. Let them sit in their ...

Yes but also my son needs to learn people will be mean and even friends will say things that are inappropriate. Standing up for himself and sometimes ignoring is the way to go. ...

Honestly bro sounds like you need to hang out with better people. Don't associate with anyone that doesn't give you basic respect, or honestly even those who are cool with people who don't give you ba...
