1 percent of the population does not have a stutter! Stop spreading false information. Speech pathologist are you even using correct data when you state this or any data at all? Or did one person randomly say this once and you just reapeat it? I am 31 years old and I have only met 2 stutterers int he wild. I never met a single stutterer in grade school or college. The collage disability department didnt even have a speech pathologist who handled stuttering. If so many people stuttered wouldnt they? Meanwhile my brother who is a type 1 diabetic (soemthing harder to spot) is 25 and he has met 10 type 1 diabetics in the wild. Even I have met more type 1 diabetics than stutters. Type 1 diabetics make up .05% of the population. Tell me how stuttering makes up 1% Please state the sources and how they obtained their sources if you think it is one percent. After this I am gonna take a look at the type 1 diabetes reddit page and see if it has more followers than us.
