Maybe in outdated medical literature (stutterers are only 1% of the population, so it won't be a widely researched topic) and/or there's no UNIVERSAL cure (but many people still recovered somehow). St...

My father stuttered and his just went away when he was 18. He speaks with no issues now. So naturally I figured mine would go away around that age. I’m damn near 40 and it hasn’t gone away. Ive le...

This is a good post. Funny, Lee Lovett says stuttering is not genetic and says that someone does copy what they see in regards to stuttering in families...

pretty sure it was King Charles the first who had a terrible stutter and when he was a kid doctors ‘cured him’ by forcing stones into his mouth and making him speak. yeah im a history nerd but it’s th...

My grandpa on my dad’s side was the stutterer for me. Interesting. Thanks for sharing!...

Unsure, but anecdotally I too had adenoid removal and tubes in my ears a lot as a kid and a deviated septum Also anecdotal, my biological father also stutters so who knows...

Can stuttering my caused by physical issues in the throat?

Can stuttering my caused by physical issues in the throat? When I was a kid I had tubes in my ears, tonsils and adenoids removed (one of these 2 was the largest the doctor had seen in a kid) and just ...

Hey! Yeah, ofc...I’ll try my best to dispel your doubt “Genetic” does not always mean “inherent”....when I said “genetic”, I really just meant “innate” or um... “ingrained”......

Quick question, what do you mean by if your over 21 it's genetic? I've never heard this before and I'm 24 but no one in my family has it...

OMG that lady was so horrendously wrong in saying what she did....part of her job is to DEAL WITH STRANGERS, or if I may act a little brusque, “deal with SHIT like THIS”... but OP, it is NOT your fa...

I don't stutter when I'm talking to myself, or when I read out loud alone in my room. However, the tricky part is, I *do* stutter when I'm sending voice message to someone, or searching something on G...

Not usually. As has been mentioned, psychogenic stuttering exists, but the majority of the time it's bad luck, so to speak. Stuttering shows high heritability, and high (but interestingly, not 100%) c...

The neurological theory maked most sense to me, both from the aspect of scientific literature and my own experience. Both from the aspect of different brain function and genetics. I personally have fa...

I know it started for me when I was 12 and a series of traumatic events happened. I didn't have much of a stutter before, but after a mushroom trip I was able to remember about these things and put th...

Stuttering can be caused by trauma (aka neurogenic stuttering), either mental/emotional or stroke/TBI, but that is much less common than neurological/genetic ("normal" stuttering). Depending on the st...

Some stuttering can be caused by trauma. There are cases of discharged soldiers developing stutters. Or abused children. Most stutterign is genetic though. There are even studies that suggest certain...

Confidence matters, even a lot depending on the person. But I think that speech therapist does not have any idea about stuttering. Stuttering psychological? Nah, maybe after a very big sudden trauma l...

Never did speech class cuz school j didn’t think I was that “bad”, but definitely tried this on my own. I read aloud random articles I find online and work on sounding things out, kinda to compensate ...

I read aloud, especially poetry. It's something I used to do in speech therapy as a kid and really helps me....

it’s always cool to think of that ratio and then think that i’m a woman, i got within those slight chances...
