Stuttering: People’s Perception on Intelligence | Katja Nugroho | TEDxYouth@ISBangkok

I will be talking about stuttering, specifically, how stuttering doesn’t determine a person’s cognitive abilities. It is simply just a neurological disorder. I will also be discussing about people’s perception on stuttering in the real world and how it might affect their routines. Jobs, for example. I will also add some references from the media and how it influences other people about stuttering. There will be a mix of data and personal stories along the way. I was born in Jakarta, Indonesia. I have been in ISB for five years now. One of my top favorite activities to do is reading, writing and watching historical TV shows. A fun fact about me is that I love to think and even sometimes overthink. Because of that, I always have the urge to share my ideas and thoughts with others but at times, I’m nervous to do so. That’s where my love for writing comes along. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
