I have a slight #stammer that only usually happens if I'm very tired or very stressed. It hardly ever happens and yet, when it does, it's been the cause of much embarrassment. To see the look of horror on the face of the person you're trying to talk to is just horrible, which then compounds the situation. I've never told anyone this before. So well done to the likes of Kitty and Jesse making a difference.

Helen Rutter - The Boy Who Made Everyone Laugh
Friendships, family, bands, comedy, going up to secondary school, bullying, bereavement, helping other people, finding your strengths. And the main character has a stammer, which means it sometimes takes him a long time to tell the jokes he loves! A pleasing weave of, on the one hand, real problems that children might encounter, on the other hand various happy outcomes or turns for the better.

Hi I'm Pete. a 55 year old late diagnosed #autistic male, I'm Scottish but living in London with my wife.
I am a mathematician by education but a software engineer by employ. I have a #stammer, I am a #congenital #anosmic and I love all kinds of music, computer #games (city builder and factory games mostly) and #roleplaying.
I collect cravats, slide rules, rubik cubes, books, albums and DVD/BluRay movies. You could also just say I collect collections ;)

I have several #Speech #Defects.
My #Stammer is my most common one but I have a tendency to #Spoonerisms too.
This is less a speech problem and more an indicator of my confused mixed up brain. 9/10 it's funny but it can be annoying. ( I STILL say ParCark instead of CarPark. EVERY SINGLE F***ING TIME!)
anyway yesterday I couldn't get a phrase out leaving me and my wife in tears of laughter.
I heard a "Thumble of Runder but did't see any Fighting lashes"
I said it THREE times goddammit !
Some folks stutter which can include st-st-stammering as well as pauses and other tricks like humming or making an mmm sound to bounce onto a word.
The movie The King's Speech, about a stammering world leader, is a decent source of info and ideally empathy for stutterers.
