Consider Jack Menear's And the Stuttering Just Dies, which I can speak on heavily. There isn't any contradiction with established research. The falsifiable claim is there: stutterers have different thought patterns counterproductive to fluency. They anticipate and consciously control their word choices, which fluent speskers don't do One would expect neurological underpinnings to this, as everything we experience and think happens in our brains. That doesn't mean these thought patterns cannot be altered. What you're seeing is the direct clash between nueoroscience and conscious experience. A neuroscientist can say "these brain regions largely correlate with stuttering". But neuroscience doesn't fully understand consciousness yet, so what can look like a region in the brain causing a behaviour, could also have a direct counterpart in the conscious subjective experience This cuts directly to notions such as free will, so I can see why it may look you're being "blamed" for stuttering, but you don't have to see it that way. Yes this is not peer reviewed science, but neither were many things before they caught on in the West - e.g. mindfulness, meditation, yoga, etc https://www.stuttering-specialist.com/post/and-the-stuttering-just-dies
