I actually lean towards your side of the argument on the grounds that these acceptance strategies are a bit bogus. A few steps removed from the real thing. And you cannot exactly tell yourself not to worry or think positive and so forth. It's like me telling you not to think of an apple. You're now thinking of an apple when you weren't before. Counterintuitive. I disagree on the pill thing, and especially equating stutter to other disorders. Stuttering is infinitely more complex than depression and anxiety, and there's no be-all end-all pill for depression and anxiety either. And there are side effects. And there are different types of stuttering. You are vastly overestimating the reach of current literature on stutter. With all due respect to academia and hard-working scientists, we actually know jack shit about stuttering. They will even tell you that themselves. There is a point to what you're saying. There is little funding for research and that's because stutter is more complex and much less widespread than depression, anxiety, and others. It's not as lucrative for corporations and companies and investors . They get more bang for their buck with the other disorders. However, you are naive to think this shit works on deserving. You gotta appeal to their pockets. Appeals to conscience do not work. I'm not OP nor do I owe the community anything. I am the community you say is so deserving. I have been mature from start to finish. I am not using empty big words. I am sharing relevant information. I shared a bunch of relevant brain areas and processes which you can further study if you want. I gave you information on a platform you can push your idea, and how the experts will likely reply offering some insight on their thinking and the situation. I gave you information on the realities of research and funding. I have learned nothing from you 'till now. You are simply appealing to emotion. And among my many points, you stuck on LTP and came up with a Wikipedia definition to counter. And then proceeded to use that as proof of my using big words with no relation to stuttering mechanisms. You are gravely mistaken on LTP. If this is the bar you want to set for yourself (where a vague definition gets you to dismiss as irrelevant an actually relevant process), you will not understand much. Become inquisitive. I don't see that I stand to gain anything from you at this point, but I will be sure to dm in the future if something changes. Thanks for the invitation, and you are welcome to dm me as well.
