    Hi @Spinnifix thank you very much for this post, I never realised it was only 1% of the world's population that suffer from this. I have a client that has a bad stutter, and I never know whether you should finish off their sentence or say the word for them especially if they are really struggling. I believe it is very important to raise awareness and education of this condition.

    Hello and thank you very much. @Racoon7

    For me it was important to do it. My family knows me and then ends it. I am grateful for that. There are different types of stuttering. I hadn’t got the words out and it was really straining me that I forgot the word I wanted to say. It was really bad for me. There was a language therapy school in the GDR and they came to my city everywhere. In the end we already had 7 one-of-a-kind classes. It was a lot.

    Hi @Spinnifix

    Thanx for the tag @Diamond Lim

  • Hi @Spinnifix

    Thanks for this great information about stuttering. There was a famous country singer here in the US that stuttered when he talked but never stuttered when he sang. His name was Mel Tillis.

    Happy World Stuttering Day. I have colleagues who stutter. That's why these colleagues are worth no less than people who don't stutter. On the contrary. My colleagues are very diligent and helpful. They are highly appreciated by all of us.

    thanks for the awareness @Spinnifix

    I know stuttering as a treatable disease. I do not think that it is a disease that can be overcome with a long, tiring treatment period, but with high motivation, faith and family support. ❀

    Happy world stuttering day and be full of awareness
