>1. The neurological mechanisms underlying stuttering are not well known to doctors, and even some speech therapists. So there's no surprise that that's what they mentioned to you. I hope for a future where doctors, especially, are educated in the underlying neurobiology of stutter. The information is there already, it's the education that's lacking. Agreed. Most doctors seem quite uneducated especially if you go in third world countries. >2. There is no evidence to suggest that stuttering is related to a "subconscious fear of getting scolded". Most of my family and people ik who stutter got it from abuse tbh. Same with me. I lost it when I was around maybe 10 years old but then had to live thru 2 years of heavy scolding from parents and teachers and then came a point where I couldn't say a single word, then it got better again when I found some better people but even now at like age 15, it's there but less. It often acts up when I'm around my parents or teachers and sometimes even around friends. >3. I'd like to mention that anxiousness or fear and stuttering can be related, but you can stutter without being anxious or without being fearful too. There are other, more important, underlying mechanisms involved. Yeah but it's way less in my experience. Most people I've met will be confident yet stuttering like hell.
