My qualifications? Stuttering since the moment I could talk and my entire life. You seem to have an older perspective of stuttering and its causes. It is as much psychological as it is neurological and vice versa. I think that we are fluent it’s not because we can suddenly be 100 percent fluent, we just happen to be using different neurological pathways for a single circumstance. Did you work specifically with stutterers in speech pathology? People with injuries or stroke victims don’t really count as having our specific condition.
