    Definately show patience and wait for the the individual to finish. A person who is in a wheelchair feels demeaned when their handicap is pointed out. It is unhelpful for a person who is overweight when others point out their obesity. Likewise, a person’s stuttering is part of who they are. Finishing their sentences sends a clear message to the effect of ‘Your attempt to communicate with me is bothering me. Who you are as a person makes me uncomfortable.’
