“…Taken together, these findings may indicate a need to increase the awareness and knowledge around stuttering as a communication disorder, particularly amongst school-aged children. This would be an important consideration since it is well reported that bullying of CWS is prevalent in the school years [23].…”

Introduction: Knowledge and awareness of stuttering are closely associated with attitudes toward stuttering. Few studies have been conducted on the knowledge and awareness of school-aged children, and none have been conducted in Malaysia. This study aimed to: (a) determine knowledge and awareness of stuttering among Malaysian school-aged children, and (b) determine whether there are differences between age group, gender, and people who stutter (PWS) exposure groups. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 192 Malay school-aged children (mean age = 9.47, SD = 1.781) recruited via email and social media platforms. They completed a Malay version of the questionnaire devised by van Borsel et al. (1999) on various aspects of stuttering, including prevalence, onset, gender distribution, occurrence in different cultures, cause, treatment, intelligence, and heredity of stuttering. The χ2 test of independence was performed to compare the distributions of survey responses by age group, gender, and PWS exposure group. Results: Around half of the school-aged children had met a person who stutters, but certain aspects of their knowledge were limited. Knowledge also differed according to age and gender. Girls were more knowledgeable about stuttering than boys. Regarding stuttering treatment, younger children had more positive attitudes than older children. Participants who did not know a PWS were more likely to consult their family doctor rather than a speech-language pathologist in relation to stuttering. Conclusion: Knowledge and awareness of stuttering among Malaysian school-aged children were limited. Findings of this study could be used to develop a stuttering awareness program specific to children to increase their knowledge and awareness about stuttering.

“…Similar to many individuals who stutter, the liminal nature of stuttering caused my family to see my stutter as an invisible problem (Butler 2013a;Scharf 2017 (Butler 2013a;Davis et al 2002;Hughes 2014;Kikuchi et al 2019). For me, the first semester term of high school went well, but in the second semester my stutter became severe because I became a victim of bullying.…”

“…I managed to do what were termed 'orals', I read aloud in class without much difficulty, and I was quite the extrovert.When I started high school, the severity of my stutter started showing its ugly head. Previous research has emphasised the harsh bullying children who stutter commonly endure during their schooling career(Butler 2013a;Davis, Howell & Cooke 2002;Hughes 2014;Kikuchi et al 2019). As a result of bullying, children who stutter typically become withdrawn, feel isolated, have a reduced self-esteem and have poor peer relationships…”

This article aimed to build on the work of St. Pierre, exploring the liminal nature of people who stutter. Method: Drawing on my personal experiences of stuttering as a coloured South African man, I illuminated the liminal nature of stuttering.Results: This analytic autoethnography demonstrates how the interpretation of stuttering as the outcome of moral failure leads to the discrimination and oppression of people who stutter by able-bodied individuals as well as individuals who stutter. Conclusion:As long as stuttering is interpreted as the outcome of moral failure, the stigma and oppression, as well as the disablism experience by people who stutter, will continue to be concealed and left unaddressed.

“…[ 4 ] As children grow older and become more involved in social communications, their problems with bullying, peer victimization, social isolation, and rejection intensify. [ 5 6 ] In fact, it has long been known that many adults who stutter (AWS) experience anxiety in speaking situations. [ 7 ] Hence, anxiety in speaking situations can be considered as an outcome of the negative consequences AWS experiences across the life span.…”
