A solution to stuttering As somebody who is a lifelong stutterer, one of my dreams is that one day Science and Technology will progress so far that a cure to stuttering comes out Whether its a brain implant made by Elon Musk, or some kind of life changing surgery to allow the airflow to pass, I’m hopeful that some kind of solution comes out. What do you guys think? Is this a foolish thing to hope for? Is it foreseeable? Or is it a mere fantasy that’ll never come true. I feel like when compared to other issues, Stuttering is not nearly as represented in media and culture as it ought to be In other words, for all the pain and misery a stutter can cause for somebody, I feel like non-stutterers (privileged people who never had to worry about their speech) don’t care about it, or rather don’t know about it. And its a shame The less people that know about this, or rather know how horrible it is to live with a stutter, the longer we wont have a cure.
