Accidentally came across this quote from Descent of Man by Grayson Perry, and had to edit it a little to suit an inspiring, forward looking, tolerant, celebratory #STAMMAFestGlobal2022. #ItsHowWeTalk #DifferenceNotDefect

Great turn out for @EY_Ability Stammering Network panel discussion today on the minority within a minority experience of women who stammer for Women’s History Month. TY for inviting me to take part in such an open & engaging conversation #changingthenarrative #differencenotdefect

On my weekend reading list 👀 Free to access for a limited time! #OKToStutter #DifferenceNotDefect 🙂

Thrilled to see this fantastic ‘Beginners Guide to Ableism’, a free resource created by @EmilioLees clearly explaining key terminology & underlying concepts in a highly accessible format. Great to also see #stammering cited as a type of innate neurodivergence #DifferenceNotDefect

Clear parallels to be drawn here… “Being a stammerer is an identity based on a specific neurology. It is not inherently good or bad. There is nothing to be fixed or cured, so why force people to acquire a diagnosis?" #Ableism #Neurodiversity #DifferenceNotDefect

I signed up to be an interviewer! It would be wonderful to see fellow people living, working, and studying in Canada 🇨🇦 there too. The deadline is tomorrow so it's a great day to apply 🙂 #OKToStutter #DifferenceNotDefect #50MillionVoices

We're going to meet up again to identify & prioritize our next steps. Interested? Check out our strategy in the works & get in touch. My DMs are open #OKToStutter #DifferenceNotDefect docs.google.com/document/d/1dx…

Inspired by this! NHS employees launched a network, and now a website to promote and showcase personal stories and positive role models of NHS staff who stammer (i.e. stutter) #OKToStutter #DifferenceNotDefect

Makes my day when I run into an opportunity to listen to @JeromeEllis speak about his stuttering, creativity, accessibility and equity. #OKToStutter #DifferenceNotDefect

Or would it correlate more with how hostile or stammer-friendly the environment is in which the interaction is taking place? I’m increasingly more interested in what is in the water around the iceberg than the relative proportions of what is above or below #differencenotdefect

Yes! It’s such an exciting time for stammering with an ever growing number of powerful new voices emerging who are questioning the dominant ableist narrative & offering fresh insights, novel understandings & radical perspectives #differencenotdefect

"The difference between stuttering and fluency is not a matter of quantity of disfluency; rather it is in the quality of experience" 🙂 #StutteringPride #DifferenceNotDefect #OKToStutter isad.isastutter.org/isad-2016/pape…

THIS: the Ableist Jar ableist.is HT @vavroom Like a swear jar, self-impose a fine every time you use ableist language that has negative impact or connotation on or for people with disabilities. #OKToStutter #DifferenceNotDefect #ItsHowWeTalk

So looking forward to the world’s first ‘Celebration of Stammering’ focussing on the arts & stammering pride. Here’s to thickening more affirming narratives & showcasing the diverse & exciting new understandings people are developing about their speech #differencenotdefect

TY for this thoughtful interview @_nhrodgers; for not defining stammering in medical terms; for calling out unhelpful therapy, challenging stereotypical & stigmatising attitudes & for positioning stammering as a different, valuable & respected way of speaking #differencenotdefect

Shout out to @Patrick1992C & @redefinestammer for their passion! Words are still ringing in my ears and whirling round my brain from their recent study day and publication. Highly recommend checking out their work 🙌 #stammeringprideandprejudice #differencenotdefect

Spent a week trying to track this package down, hope it's worth it! #PlacementReads #SLT2B #DifferenceNotDefect

Utterly blown away by the social model concept introduced by the new Stammering Pride and Prejudice book. Down to stammerers everywhere to ensure society's perceptions now change. #differencenotdefect

Generous sharing between countries, inspiring stories & lovely community feeling in today’s #50MillionVoices leaders meeting #OKToStutter #DifferenceNotDefect
