Imo, I’m okay with not having a cure and I think that there is a fair amount of research regarding stammering. Since stammering can be considered a disability and/or impairment, I believe that wanting to “cure/resolve” a stammer gives the idea that stammering is shameful and contributes to the stigma regarding disabilities and that stammering = negative and this can be incredibly harmful, as well as perpetuating ideas regarding shame and embarrassment.
