If you feel like laughing at her, imagine first how you would cope with this speech impediment that influences your daily life. I must admit her speech may sound quite unlikely to you if you have never heard a severe stutterer talking. The stuttering has nothing to do with her intelligence or the way she thinks. It’s a neurological condition that makes people stutter. Although I am a moderate stutterer who has times when he speaks absolutely fluent I have still problems dealing with my impediment. I think the most disturbing thing stutterers have to face with are all the people who think of you as a mentally retarded person and turn away from you because of that. Many people do this because they don’t know how to react when their conversational partner starts stuttering. My advice is that you should tell them that you don’t mind their stuttering. Usually this releases their tension and their speech becomes more fluent. I saw some videos on Youtube that make fun of stuttering and I read very malicious comments by people who treat stuttering as a joke. I wonder if those would laugh at people sitting in wheel chairs too. Stuttering is very similar to that because a paraplegic person wants to walk, but is not able to do that and a stutterer wants to talk fluently, but he cannot. So, it’s a pretty frustrating issue and most stutterers have to deal with it for their whole lives. The most difficult challenges stutterers have to take up: 1. Introducing themselves 2. Giving oral presentations 3. Talking on the phone 4. Meeting new people 5. Getting a decent job The most important point is that stuttering is usually not the only problem in their lives.

I stutter when I try to say my name (Emily). Really bad. Like I physically can’t introduce myself and today in devotions they wanted me to talk about myself and I froze up… it’s hard..

I don’t stutter, but when I try to put myself in her shoes, I think of stuttering feeling like after crying really hard – trying to speak when you keep on gasping and can’t catch your breath. You know what you want to say, but it’s physically impossible to get it out, and it sounds quite similar to stuttering too. Imagine if you talked like that all the time and people thought you were stupid or teased you for it.

I’m surprised at how many people think stuttering is confidence based when ten years ago it was discovered to be physiological. Try putting headphones on while a microphone feeds your own voice back. It usually tricks a stutterers voice into not stuttering. Confidence only goes so far when battling a neurological condition.

i stutter but not that very often but to me i would compare how bad i speak as her. i stutter with long syllables but sometimes i don’t.
my advice to this girl just take a deep breath and talk slowly. 80% chance she can say what she wants to say. for all who stutters like me and this girl my advice try to be confident. don’t think of words just free your minds. blend with the people around you. im 19 and still stutter. too bad but the key is being confident and talk slowly.

You smile? Best thing to do is put yourself in her shoes.
Take a *really* deep breath… hold it, don’t breathe out! Just take another shallow breath on top of it. Now, quickly say the first syllable without breathing out too much, take another 2 quick breaths and repeat for every other syllable of the word.
Continue to the next word… that’s what it physically feels like. Hopefully this enlightens you!

The interviewer is NOT being an asshole. I should know-people use their hands when they explain something to me sometimes as well. I don’t see it as mean-in fact I think it makes them smarter for doing so.
Have you not seen people gesture with their hands to better be able to get their point across. I guess you haven’t.
Gesturing is sort of emphasizing his point. People use visual cues with their hands talking to anyone to better explain themselves.

This video is uncanny- Rebecca looks so much like the daughter of my science teacher- I met the daughter last night– and she looks remarkable like rebecca.
In a way my science teacher daughter is exactly like rebecca wthout the stutter problem.
And they both have hearts of angels.

I agree. We stutterers look like the average person, but the way we speak destroys our whole image.
