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.
