Avilesh: I dread those "tell me about yourself and talk me through your resumé questions".
Stuttering Foundation Facebook Poll: Did stuttering affect your ability to make friends? 203 votes
Jose: As a kid and teenager, yes. Not so much as an adult now.
Christine: It also affected my career decision. I wanted to teach but was afraid to stand up in front of a class so I became an associate instead, making less money.
Anurag: Despite my stammering I have many friends who respect me; they do not isolate me and they don't bother to make fun of me. They also take advice from me.
Jason: Absolutely, the very few friends I had didn't care either way. Most of the kids saw my stuttering as something to make fun of in large groups. So, therefore, I am an introvert.
Christopher: Nope, because if they had an issue with my stutter, they weren’t worth my time.
Cristina: Yep.
Did You Know about 5% of all kids go through a period of stuttering that lasts six months or more?
Nancy: Early intervention is best when speech skills and environmental speaking situations can be modified to support fluent speech! It’s better to ask a specialist in stuttering than to wait and worry.
Cara: I stuttered as a toddler, but it resolved without therapy. All three of my kids started stuttering when they were two. My oldest is 8 and has a severe stutter; my second stopped stuttering after about 6-8 months; my youngest is four and still stutters. “Risk factors” are interesting, but I wonder what family history or genes have to do with it?
