10 years later, and still a beautifully done documentary. A lot of people dont even know I stutter because i barely speak.

Throughout the years I've been stuttering I'm 13 all the people I am good friends with don't say nothing bad about my stuttering. Sometimes I feel sad cause they don't take me seriously and laugh the strategies I use are I take a deep breath before I talk or say the sentence without stopping this video changed the prospective on stuttering in many ways I'm glad i found this video

Morgan: I came across your video while "researching communication disorders" for a "presentation." I realized that you are a person, not a communication disorder that I can research and understand and present... How arrogant of me. You have broadened my experience of God's grace in the world. Keep telling your story, for yourself and for us. Young people who look up to you will treasure this video.

+Ryan Johnson This means a lot to me, thank you. It's so easy to generalize disorders, diseases, conditions and forget that there are real people who struggle with those things every day that have personalities and lives outside of whatever the hardship is, and like you said, are real people. I fall into that same mindset all of the time. Thank you for recognizing that in "thisisstuttering" and writing a comment, I appreciate it a ton!

Ryan Johnson, not all speech impediments are disabilities because a disability can never get better but a stutter, like mine can. I can speak fluently when I'm relaxed or tierd but stutter when i'm with family, ordering food, talking on the phone almost every where I stutter. A disability can never change except maybe get worse. If someone stutters and they get worse throughout the years they either haven't a speech therapist or do have a disability. You're right though, Nothing is too difficult if you put trust in God. I wouldn't be as courageous as I am now if it wasn't for my Relationship with God and our Savior Jesus Christ. I don't think I'd want to become a Motivational Speaker if He was never in my life. #God'sNotDead

+Gemi93 You just took the first step and admitted it on the internet! Before making this film, I had never even talked about it outside of the therapy room. My entire life changed the moment this film came out because I knew, from then on, I would never be able to hide it again. Publicly acknowledging my stutter was easily one of the hardest, but most important, things I've ever done. You're taken a big step by commenting on this video, thank you for that!

Mate I admire your strength and courage to show other people what you go through every day.. I love that you push yourself to still do or say things now that you would try to hide or change before. Believe me man I have lived your life- you seem to be doing so much better than I did through those years though! I am 30 now and like you have accepted that it is a part of who I am. If somebody doesn't like the way you talk, they can go fuck themselves. I can guarantee you are a braver and better person than they are. I am thinking of going back to school to become a speech therapist as I owe so much to mine when I was younger. Good luck brother, brofist and sending you support from Australia!!!

Morgan, Great film. My son is two and seems to have a stutter...it's hard as a mom dealing with the idea that my child will go through so much, psychologically, in his life due to this possible speech issue. However, as a fellow Christian, I found hope and strength in your final words- it's really hard but we need to have faith that there is something greater than us is being accomplished through us. Keep making eye-opening movies! P.

MY RESPECT FOR YOU. I live your pain and your hope. This disorder is a phenomena, but maybe Jesus does want us to go through this. WE KNOW WHAT TO SAY BUT WE ARE IMPEDED BY FORCE. The population that stutters are the only people on this earth that know what it feels like to be blocked of the most basic fundamental to human beings (speaking). We are eloquent, we are intelligent, we are a creative and rare breed in a sense. We are at war with ourselves everyday. We have unique stories that reveal truth, pain, anguish, hate, love, which all revolve around the fact that we are people who stutter. But nevertheless we are creative geniuses, stamped by exclusive humility and extraordinary hope. I don't know the cure is But I do know that we are warriors, and capable of pure greatness. sincerely, another person who stutters.

I know for me, stuttering has helped me become courageous, forgiving, selfless and full of love. I'll fight back when I need to but all I want is to show kindness to those who laugh. What's amazing is that once we accept our stammer we begin to stop caring about what others think about us. We no longer are afraid to stand out. I believe we are not just Warriors but Lions!

Hello Morgan, I loved this video and understand where you're coming from since I've stuttered from age 5. When I was little I did not realize I stuttered... Which made people so annoyed they told me I stuttered. I had these remarks coming at me all the time growing up. And since they never stopped remarking it, I took therapy for it at age 14. I did not feel it helped... It made me more concious about it for sure and suddenly I had to think twice each time I had something to say. Suddenly I was more aware than ever that my speech was annoying to other people so I started controlling everything I said. It did help, and it still does. Nobody says to me that I stutter any more. When I'm tired and with close friends I still stutter, but outside I have this clear business approach to it. But I did something that changed the way I viewed my stuttering. I went on a camp for people who stutter. It was not about making the stuttering go away, but being amongst people who understood you and liked you even though you talked differently.We still keep in touch today. I think that when you feel like you're not alone in this, it's easier to accept that it will happen. We are only humans right? Now when I tell new friends I stutter they don't believe me. But I am a part of a group, of a community of people like me. So who cares what other people say!?! I stutter, and it is a privilege to hear me stutter. You and all the rest of us who stutter are all right, better yet: We're awesome! Thank you for this video, it gives people deeper understanding of what stuttering really is.

Hi, I recently met someone with stutter..this helped me a lot to better understand what it is like..Thank you for making this video,:)

You said: "if there is one person who is encouraged and affected by my story, then the stutter's worth it" I wrote this comment only to say to one thing: Consider it worth it!

Hi! Loved this video. I can relate to you so much. I am a covert stutterer and it's been over 10 years since I've confronted my stutter. I hate getting in blocks or a stutter and it's a daily struggle. I can relate in pretty much all of your situations because I've been in that situation too!! It's so difficult :( Hard to stay positive all the time and I don't know many people who stutter so this is a great way to advertise and get the education and knowledge about stuttering to the public!!

His teachers have told me every year in parent-teacher conferences "He does NOT need therapy!!!" Well, he just asked me a few days ago, if I could find him a speech therapist...talking about ripping a momma's heart out!!!! I feel like I have failed him...the ONE person that is supposed to NEVER fail him...the one person that is supposed to ALWAYS be there...I have failed him.

I live in Moscow, Russia. In 2014 i went on the therapy course for stuttering people, it was about 1 month and a half maybe, 5-6 days a week 8 am to 4 pm. Doctors divide a huge group of 30 people into small groups based on the psychological profiles of people, and you work with psychiatrists, psychologists and speech doctors. Also there was medicine, and physical therapies involved. At the beginning of the course i had a horrific stutter, i couldnt even talk with family members. Couldn't talk to anyone. By the end of the course I havent stuttered at all, had perfect steady breathing, and was just super confident. Then after about 2 months, it all came back, and it felt like it was even worse than before the therapy.(( It was one of the worst feelings ever. I kept doing the breathing exercises, and tongue twisters every morning, and there was absolutely no difference in speech regardless if i did it or not. I am planning to busk this summer, play acoustic guitar and sing. I feel like it can break that bubble that sometimes I feel i am in, bubble that makes me anxious to make a phone call or come up to someone and talk. I did it couple times before, and i noticed that i could talk very well after performing publicly.

The male:female ratio of people who stutter is 4:1. I am one of those ones. I was blessed with it since birth. Therapy consisted of flash cards to the Van Riper and Starbuck methods. Yes, I'm that old. I gave up on therapy in 10th or 11th grade. I stutter openly and freely. My refusal to be someone I'm not has cost my many jobs and opportunities. Would I do it again? I was an adult when the ADA was signed into. Attitudes have changed thankfully. Praying employers will get on board.

Why do you have bloodshot eyes? Are you tired all the time or do you just naturally look like you're tired?

I think stuttering is caused by a traumatic event between the ages of 2-7. As a Clinical Hypnotherapist I have found the cause of 100% of my clients. anything from a dog barking in a child's face, to a child seeing some one get shot. This is the spectrum that I have worked with. If any one has any questions about finding the cause of your stutter, please let me know. I think if you can find the cause, you can get to the cure. Thank you for your time
