Ever Talked To Them?

Yes, I have talked to a few bunch. They are all good folks. Even if they stutter they keep me in good humor. I don't think that it should irritate anyone, in my opinion, because it's only a speech defect and can be improved upon in some cases. Even Alexander the Great had this speech defect, so did it stop him from achieving his dreams? - No. So why care if a person stutters or not. They are all people just like us, okay! They should be treated equally. They don't need your words of sympathy, really. They just need your words of appreciation of what they have to say. Many great comedians also had this speech defect. But they put this defect to good use and became great comedians. I guess, people tend to learn better and they learn it all; it's not about defects, it's about the will to overcome and succeed. (*_*)

I have talked to them and yes I have patience to listen to them.

i have a friend who stutters. I got very annoyed when someone said he had a learning disability. He doesn't. He is a shy guy who has a stutter and who is actually quite intelligent. Why would anyone scoff at anyone. We all have something but like my discalculia, it does not always show.

well i never got a chance to talk with them, i think i have patience to deal with them :)

yea have spoken to them several times.but one thing I notice is that people who stutter get angry easily.

did..and thank God i had the patience listening and encouraging them to say whatever they wanna say without thinking they'll be judged,laugh at or humiliated..coz if they feel better if we did that,truth is, they make us feel more better as human..

I did have such a colleague when I was in school

I had a boss that had a stutter and at times it was very difficult to listen patiently when going over different aspects of my job. We had to spend a lot of time together but mostly it was fine and it didn't bother me. I always felt bad for my boss cause I could see it frustrated her when she was trying hard to explain something important

I have helped some of my students who stutter. I teach music and often people who stutter when speaking can sing with no problem and it gives them confidence. One of them became a performing jazz saxophonist.

I also know some people who stutter. But I have also seen that they do not do this knowingly. There is some problem while talking to them, so they stutter. We should help such people and deal with them in a normal behavior.
