Maybe a bit harsh yes. But as someone who is interested and works in the field of psychiatry I get the feeling that the man behind this post is a bad, bad guy. The whole post just screams that he has a bad attitude towards people who stutters and now his own son is on the path of this mans derranged prejudice against stuttering. This condition, our stutter, is a horrible disability and this jerk just lays it out there like everyone with a stutter is a weird lonely looser sneaking around hiding at work. The guy behind this post is part of the problem we stutterers face everyday. Im sorry but I hope he will now pay the price of this. His son will prob not recover from his stuttering and I hope so, for the sake of our stuttering community. Sadly more people will have to suffer if there is going to be a change in the view of us stutterers. I have tight connections with top of the line researchers in the line of stuttering here in Sweden, I know plenty of ways to prevent or stop a young person to not take the stutter into adulthood because if you stutter as an adult or early teens, there is no way back except for a life of medication etc and a huge amount of therapy and techniques. I will not give this post my valuable knowledge of treating stuttering in children, because of the "tone" of the post just like you said. There is a hard crossroad from stuttering as a child and an adult. Once you carry over your stutter from childhood to early teens/adult there is no way back. Stuttering in children is all about making the correct wiring and linguistics in the brain.
