No, stuttering is a mental sickness related to a dopamine dysfunction, like schizophrenia or adhd. Antypshichotics and sometimes stimulants improve it and in some people they are life changing. It's not a part of who I am. I remember the day when I started to stutter, I was very young and I didn't know why sometimes I couldn't say a word, it got worse in teenage years. I also remember the time before developing my stutter, when I could truly show myself just the way I am, talking the way I like to talk and with who I wanted. It is like any other dopamine related sickness such as adhd and schizophrenia, it can be improved with meds, and like any other sickness, cure is being searched. Of course the better is to accept you stutter and you can't resist to it because if you try, it only get worse (although sometimes and in some persons it is the other way round because the amygdala) anyway it is not a part of myself and if there was a cure I would use it. When you accept you stutter it just doesn't bother you, but it would still be better to not stutter and be able to talk the way you want and pronouncing the words the way you would like.
