Stuttering at work vs other places

[Javier]

Do yu stutter more at work/school/highschool/university compared to other situations, such as when haging out with friends, family, or strangers? Why do you think that happens? What is helping you to solve this problem?

Javie, I think it is different for everyone. I have a PWS who tells me that he stutters the WORST with his family! He says he is more fluent with his friends.

I for one hardly stuttered around my family and friends, but I stuttered everywhere else. In fact, my family had a hard time believing that I stuttered unil they would see me with other people or would hear me stuttering on the phone.

I would say that I stuttered most at work and to authority figures, now I love being able to speak at work and answer the phones!

I agree with you. I used to stutter the most at work and on the phone. But as you said, I’ve met PWS who stuttered more with their family, or with certain friends, or who stutter more in their mother language.

In order to solve it, I took those harder situations as a challenge, as a game, and I challenged myself to speak fluently in those situations by using even more the Crutches, the only goal was to speak fluently. I succeeded and now I don’t view those situations as challenging anymore.
