1 more day until Stuttering Awareness Day!! (What people who stutter wish you knew)

1. It’s not always nerves that cause stuttering
2. It’s neurological
3. Stop telling us to slow down! We understand your trying to help but this technique doesn’t always help, thanks for the good intentions.
4. Please do not finish our sentences! Just be patient with us,listen

5. Majority of people who stutter don’t like speaking on the phone, due to the fact that the other person on the other end doesn’t know that we stutter.......so

if there is a pause the other person on the other line may think we have a bad signal . And When someone repeats “Hello? Hello?” it sometimes raises tension and puts more pressure on us to get the sound out.
