The provider of the so-called Kassel stuttering therapy and a specialist in general medicine, Alexander Wolff Gudenberg said to the press:
In the U.S. you can be even despite stuttering professor. In Germany I have not even affected my additional qualification as ENT specialist can make. (...) Anyone who has a fluency disorder, falls in Germany by all grid.
quote here.
But that was three years ago, on the occasion of World Day of stuttering .
But even then I knew a number of successful stutterers who carry out their jobs in industries such as architecture, IT, research and teaching in natural and cultural sciences (yes, including a university professor), journalism, engineering. Then there are celebrities such as FC Delius eg.
I've often wondered what it takes to go to a stutterer won his way. Is it a question of the severity of the symptoms? Is it a question of supportive social environment, social background? Years ago it was
in pebble , organ of the German self-help organization BVSS eV, some articles about stuttering and work ". It was striking because it appeared to the men in career choices do not pose significant problems to stutter. In other portraits of women. But my personal encounters in the stuttering self-help speak a different language. Of the few women who met with women in a club, a high proportion is very well trained and employed accordingly.
This is consistent again with findings from research on migration: Women from disadvantaged groups are better educated than the men from the same group. Hm - what about the elite research findings? Women in senior positions are also better educated than their male counterparts and that a higher job performance.
Various conclusions are possible: *
stuttering effect as any other discrimination in women ambitious promoting.
* Success stories of female stutterer have been of no interest to the responsible editor pebble or have simply not sent. * In
organized stutterers, there are a disproportionately large professionally successful women.
And what is by a factor of social class? The successful women I met in the scene of self-help, I would classify because of the social environment in which they grew up, in the category of educated middle class. Therefore you would always ended up there, where they are now landed - had, however, by the stuttering more obstacles in their career. The so-called habit of sociologists, the personal stance favoring the pursuit of your goals.
contrast, is a social advancement, that is, improving the social position of the family (based on occupation and on the resources of the parents), with a disability more difficult. I do not know. I was impressed by the Story of a stuttering migrant in the U.S., which managed to climb over her medical studies - but she admits that it was only when that had already managed to show her stuttering and it worked. Previously, she avoided her stuttering successful.
which in turn covered with "success stories" of such species as the Will of Anne: "Everyone can do it if he hides on the way to goal handicap: ie in the period of uncertainty as" normal "goes through. Well - because I do not see anything emancipatory, on the contrary ...
