Good point! So you're saying that, if it's true that neurological brain differences might be the consequence (rather than the cause). Then in this specific case, researchers' perspective might not align with how clinicians see it. Personally, I think in the context of neuroscience-based interventions this 'issue' shouldn't be a major issue. Because: * Allowing oneself to accept stuttering or to make peace with it doesn't necessarily require a convincing story about neurological differences. Why should that be the only story-telling? * [**Research** ](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0021992418300789)does seem to indicate that recovery in children can occur either when they accept or not accept stuttering * Additionally, I think we should follow the data, not follow what we want the data to be \[We should base our decisions on research findings, not on what we wish the truth to be merely for convenience\]
