Adult Onset Stutter Hello, I'm a 30 year old male who developed a severe stutter two years ago. I have no prior personal or family history of stuttering and am struggling with it. The block prevents me from getting any words out when speaking to others or on the phone. It's embarrassing, awkward, and cringe-worthy. I'm seeing a speech language pathogist, psychiatrist, therapist, and a neurologist (in a few weeks) to get this all sorted out. Anyone else have similar experiences?
