Unless stuttering runs in the family statistically she will grow out of it. If it becomes a struggle for her or if you're concerned it's more than normal childhood disfluency take her to a speech path...

First let’s acknowledge that a stutter can range from being occasional repetitions that have no impact on your functioning - to secondary traits that make almost all verbal interaction painful enough ...

Trying to find it now. I promise it's out there - it is connected with Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis. I know that among Asheknazi Jews who stutter, you normally have one or both in the gene pool,...

I’m intrigued by your claim that stuttering is more prevalent among people of Ashkenazi descent; can you share link(s) to support?...

I think genes are more complex than that. But as an early childhood professional, suggesting to skip a child ahead a few grades is a horrible idea that can definitely manifest in social/emotional/aca...

Yeah, I'm not suggesting every Ashkenazi Jew stutters - they don't. I'm also not suggesting if you're an Ashkenazi Jew and stutter, it is the Ashkenazi Jewish gene causing the stutter. But stuttering...

I've thought about this too. I have a severe stutter, and I looked at my own DNA, and apparently I have some sort of sequence that correlates with stuttering or speech impediments, my mom doesn't ha...

Read the studies on it. They're interesting. Of course, the issue that also pops up is almost all Ashkenazi Jews descend from the same 2,000 people living 2,000 years ago so there's limited genetic ad...

Wow it all makes sense now.. I did a genetic ancestry test recently and I came back as a small percentage Azkhenazi Jewish 🤦🏽‍♂️ Thanks I would’ve never put that together...

Creatine also helps me in my stuttering. I just started taking it yesterday because I'm doing a home workout and I want to have extra energy and strength. BTW, I'm also stuttering and my father also ...

Actually, there *have* been a few studies done on stuttering that were highly suggestive of a genetic predisposition for the disorder....

The vast majority of cases of stuttering definitely have underpinnings of neurological and genetic causes. It’s shameful that so few studies have been conducted on stuttering, but from the studies tha...

The thing is soo little is known about it so anything that someone thinks is basically just a guess. If there's a line of stutterers in a family for example grandad, dad, son, that might not be geneti...

Supposedly if a parent stutters then their child is more likely to aswell but I'm not sure if it's biological I'd say more to do with someone's personality and how they handle stress...

I don’t agree. I know myself, I know how my stutter has progressed since childhood. It’s not just anxiety. Officially diagnosed stuttering isn’t the same as normal stage fright. Stuttering can even be...

1. No. I still find myself stuttering, my speech pattern does not change either. It is still harshly chopped up, with pauses in the wrong part of a sentence (sounds almost as if I was out of breath). ...

I believe it to be caused by a difference in our brain structure than other people in most cases. If you think about it most stutterers probably have a higher confidence than a lot of fluent speakers,...

No that definitely makes sense. I also know what sounds are more likely to trip me up and if I can avoid them in a sentence I do. I'm not sure if it's just me but I've noticed my stutter gets worse ...

Most stutterers don't stutter in private situation it's only when a human is added that we think that we will stutter. Why are you convinced that your stuttering, in your experience is genetic and in ...

The times it catches me by surprise ARE the times I'm not thinking about it at all. Places I'm comfortable and fully occupied with activities I enjoy. In my case at least there's a pretty strong ge...
