There’s a fundamental difference between the traditional stage fright and stuttering: stage fright often invokes fear. Stuttering in front of people often invokes shame. What’s the difference?

Didn’t we, as a society, decide that shaming children about stuttering is a monstrous to do? Or does that only apply to fluent children? Lidcombe Programe makes us question…

Instead of assuming that secondaries are inherently bad, we should work with individuals to understand their needs and preferences.

Being excited is my entire personality (jk, kinda not really). No “turtle talk” for me. Don’t tell me to slow down my speech just so you don’t have to listen to stuttering.

The movement from ‘medical model of disability’ to ‘social model of disability’ might answer the “Is stuttering really a disability?” question all together. Of course it is, see: discrimination.

Not everyone who stutters wants to change their innate speaking voice. I can hate the stigma without hating my voice.

“What was your experience as a person who stutters in speech therapy, and what do you wish was different?”

I can hardly blame parents and caregivers for their fear when they see messaging that paints stuttering as some "devastating human disorder". What other conclusions are left for them to draw?
