I'm not going to vote this post up or down. I believe you mean well, and you're trying to contribute, so a downvote isn't right. But I also believe you have a flawed understanding of stuttering, so I won't promote the post with an upvote. I don't doubt your sincerity or truthfulness. But what is missing is your lack of understanding of stuttering beyond your own experience. I achieved fluency in my mid-twenties after being a lifelong severe stutterer. I know my own experiences. I've also learned how little I know stuttering since I joined this sub. My experience doesn't necessarily give me insight to the obstacles other stutterers face. My challenges as a stutterer differ from others. I think you'll find a more receptive audience if you reorganize how you present yourself and your ideas. This sub is a wide range of people, with varying challenges related to their fluency. Different ideas are held by different members. I disagree with some. Some disagree with me. If I encountered my 18 year old self in this sub, we'd likely disagree. You state >Some people say that stuttering isn't speech-oriented but is actually mental, and I have to respectfully disagree. This is kind of nonsensical. Speech is mental. All language is a mental function. Now maybe you meant that some people believe stuttering isn't speech-oriented, but an emotional or anxiety based problem. From what you wrote and what you said on youtube, I am inferring you believe stuttering to be a mechanical problem, not 'mental.' That if the stutterer moves their mouth to the next position / sound, that stuttering can be overcome. For some members of the sub, their emotions and anxiety are part of their speech disorder. For others, they stutter but don't have the anxiety issues. And there are all sorts of other types of stutterers with differing factors influencing their fluency. Please keep your audience in mind. As u/JoeOutrage mentioned, we have parents who are desperate for help here. We have young people seeking to be heard. We have stutterers who are desperate for support. Some of us are just barely hanging on. Also, you stated: >I don't believe someone who has never stuttered before is able to find a way to reverse stuttering, because they wouldn't know what to look for. I have a lot of respect for the people that helped me achieve fluency. Not everyone on the team were stutterers. When someone spends 40 years of their life working with a disorder, they see it all. You can believe whatever you like, but I ask that you reconsider your experience against doctors and masters who have dedicated their lives to advancing the understanding and treatment of speech disorders. Again, I know you posted with good intentions. Please receive my response similarly.
