r/wowthanksimcured edit- even though stuttering doesn't need a cure. This edit is for my speech therapists who love to drill this into my head lol...

SLPs are absolutely there to help with stuttering. From fluency shaping to stuttering modification and CBT, an SLP who knows their stuff can absolutely make a difference for a person who stutters. ...

I've heard SLP is more to help people with aphasia for example, not really effective at helping stutterers. Especially because you get one session once every 2 weeks or something its absolutely banana...

I am not trying to be disrespectful, but unless you are a speech therapist the possibility of you knowing several people who stutter is highly unlikely. Only one percent of the world stutters. Many pe...

I don't know very much about India, but I'm sorry to hear that it's not recognized as a disorder. The science is very clear on it. I hope you keep pressing on and continue trying to pursue what you're...

When people say cute they usually mean "Aaww he's nervous to talk to me so he's stumbling over his words" It's kind of annoying honestly. Imagine someone telling a dude with Tourette's syndrome that ...

Can we please chill with the whole “stuttering is cute” thing. There is nothing “cute” about a neurological disorder, especially one that has such a strong effect on the day to day lives of many peopl...

Following a script is easier, which is why singing and acting is less difficult for stutterers than impromptu speech. There’s nothing magical about this. As I said, I’m glad whatever you are doing is ...

Yeah, we know enough about stuttering to call it a disorder. Furthermore, by having a medical diagnosis, a lot of doors are opened up in regards to getting speech therapy and for the medical community...

Well should we not drop the word disorder? Do we know enough about stuttering to call it a disorder. Is the word disorder not contributing to people who stutter having low self images of themselves le...

while it is true that many people “grow out” of their stutter over time, many people who stutter keep stuttering throughout their life. it’s totally ok to want to be more fluent, that’s normal! i just...

Its not overthinking.. Start accepting yourself with that stutter.. Love your stutter.. Even though others say like that.. Think your unique that way.. All the lockdown and covid made me conclude that...

I’m the same way. A large base of researchers (possibly a majority) on the matter believe that stuttering is a symptom of some sort of specific social anxiety. Therefore, it would make complete sense ...

I get your point. Then they are the one who has the problem. I have Parkinson's disease but I use to be the fastest man on the football field. Now, I can hardly walk. People just have to wait on me. I...

I wouldn't say they are necessarily assholes - many are just misinformed. Just like most things in life, you have to pick your battles, and for this scenario, more research/development needs to be don...

Of course, you can't have the good without the bad. Not everybody's educated to empathise that many stutters have to wake up everyday and fear in delivering that presentation or standing out from the ...

I could've mention another conditions, like panic attacks or alcoholism (which isn't a personal choice, just like obesity in many cases, because you can unintentionally learn bad eating habits from a ...

That's not even remotely the same. First of all, I didn't choose to stutter. I was never given a choice. Second, we don't know what causes stuttering let alone how to fix it or if it even can be fixed...

Let's change the word "stuttering" for the sake of an example: many people (who aren't rich or famous) can help you eliminate obesity, but there are still many overweight people around the world....
