You say that nobody is willing to be honest with you - but the thing is that they have, it's just not what you wanted to hear: "His pediatrician waved it off as normal speech disfluency. I brought it up every six months from then to age 6 at pediatric appointments. Wait and see was the motto." What do you want them to tell you? Let's do a blood test and check if it comes back positive for the stuttering virus? No one understands how stuttering really works. Again, it is relatively common in young kids, and most grow out of it. That's all one can honestly say at this point. I agree with you that the speech therapist has phrased this poorly and in an insensitive way, but IF someone has this condition, then the only way forward is to find ways to manage it (arguably, just like with alcoholism). It isn't a disease that you can cure if you catch it in time. Speech therapy can help manage disfluency issues, but it's not going to "cure" anyone, in the same way going to a therapist is not going to "cure" anxiety or depression. It gives you some tool that can be helpful to some people to mange their conditions. If you don't like the speech therapist, find another one that you like, but first find the time to ask the question on what you are trying to achieve. I've always seen stuttering as a disability and something that I've wanted to solve for as long as I can remember, and still it would break my heart to know that my mother is "desperate" because of my condition. I would seriously recommend that you sort out your own issues with this condition (perhaps with some help from a therapist) before trying to help your sons. I really hope this helps and that I'm not coming across as preachy - best of luck to you and your sons!
