‘Don’t finish my sentence’: How one man is destigmatizing stuttering in Saudi Arabia

‘Don’t finish my sentence’: How one man is destigmatizing stuttering in Saudi Arabia

Just read about Saad Al-Munajem, a 26-year-old from Saudi Arabia who founded Mutalaathem to support people who stutter. His message is powerful: stuttering isn't a problem to be 'fixed', it's just a different way of speaking. He asks society for simple patience-to listen to *what* he says, not *how* he says it. After years of struggling with speech therapy that focused on fluency, he found an approach that emphasized choice and confidence. Now, his organization runs support groups and school sessions, reminding everyone that giving someone the time to speak can change everything. #StutteringAwareness #Inclusion https://www.arabnews.com/node/2643025/saudi-arabia

Focusing on what's said, not how it's said. That's the key right there. More power to him and his organization.
