I love reading your posts. Lately, I have been thinking about my stutter in computational terms. A computer has multiple threads, and each thread deals with a constant stream of data that needs to be processed. If one of those data streams gets blocked because the processing requires more computation, it can cause a slowdown or a 'stutter'. Like if you ever play games, sometimes the gameplay stutters this is because the datastream gets overloaded. I feel like us stutterers, are hyper-aware / sensitive people. We over analyse social situations, to a point where we are overloading that part of our brain. Couple that with some kind of genetic impairment its going to create blocked speech. It also explains why for me, I can speak perfectly clearly in a calm setting where my brain is not overloaded, but add some kind of stimulus my speech is completely altered to the point of blocking on every word. It also explains why for me, speech therapy does nothing, but an introspective shift in how I treat social settings, was huge.
