1. I stutter too, but this is painful to watch. He has some issues he has to
   deal with first, like not using these jerking and convulsing movements to
   break through a verbal block. This makes him look crazy, and distracts
   people almost entirely from what he is saying. He needs some speech therapy
   in how to deal with this problem and not resort to these physical
   behaviors. Using this audio feedback is not realistic, you can’t go through
   life hearing everything like your in robot world. It takes enormous mental
   effort to deal with stuttering, and there is no real cure, but anyone can
   make big improvements. 

2. This is a revolting fraud, he is not stuttering…he is pretending.

3. I stutter too. I devised my own way of beating it, but it is always there
   like a monster in the cupboard. If you’ve never stuttered imagine this.
   DON’T BLINK!.. I bet most of you reading this blinked almost immediately
   before you had time to think. Stuttering and twitching are not a conscious
   decision, and the conscious decision to fight them is as easy as not
   blinking with sand in your eye. 

4. He is great !

5. Holy crap, what a great lad! I don’t know what the hell to say, I’m goddamn
   speechless.

6. I have a speech disorder too – It’s pretty restricting in day to day life
   with socialising in terms of “freedom” to speak to people you don’t yet
   know. it’s like a barrier blocking you off from making new friends at
   times. It isn’t so bad around friends / family and people I know but people
   I don’t? Yeah, I may be a while trying to convey a message. I think it has
   a lot to do with nerves and especially in public speaking like this guy
   just did, is extremely hard for someone with a speech problem

7. Waw, he’s a great dude! I like people like him, who are willing to step out
   there and make their voices heard. 😀

8. Absolutely stunning. As a PWS myself, I award him a 5* rating for his
   courage.

9. Wow

10. Godamn just spit it out already… You know you were thinking it
    motherfuckers, don’t judge me.
