Mashable:
Stuttering — a speech characteristic marked by repetitions in sound, prolonged pauses and repeated words. Though stuttering impacts an estimated 70 million people globally, it’s widely misunderstood, leading to widespread stigma.
Often, the person who stutters is seen as lacking intelligence or authority in what they have to say. But, in reality, stuttering is just a variation of “expected” speech.
For many people, stuttering is a lifelong condition, even with treatment like speech therapy.
As a stutterer myself, there is some great advice in this piece if you know anyone who has a stutter. Patience is the key.
Fellow stutterer here. I second Shawn’s note; patience above all. Glad you posted this.
Nice to meet you Eric. I’m managing it better now, but I’ll always be a proud stutterer.
I hope I was patient enough back in college. Jerry deserved no less.
Another stutterer here too. Somehow I managed to overcome stuttering for a 11-year career in radio. Never stuttered on air once; still do otherwise. Teased mercilessly for it in all levels of schooling and as an adult…and in a way, that helped me mature more quickly (I think) and learn to not give a crap about what other people think about me.
“Somehow I managed to overcome stuttering for a 11-year career in radio. Never stuttered on air once; still do otherwise.” Same here.
