IIRC there’s been some successes in non invasive magnetic stimulation in wericke’s and Broca’s area...though i don’t think that’s ever been conclusively determined be the exact causation of stuttering...

Agreed; I reckon the main reason behind most negative reactions is because there’s still so much ignorance surrounding speech/voice disorders. People who laugh at and mock deaf people or those in whee...

This is how I feel about the whole thing, stuttering is like the bastard child of disabilities/ disorders. It's mostly forgotten about. The research that has been done, and studies. Are really not as ...

19 year old female stutterer here studying to be a speech and language therapist...

I wouldn't think of it as a boss. Stuttering isn't something to "beat"....

No such pattern has been uncovered in general, no. Besides, there are people with those deformations who speak just fine - and there are people without who stutter - so......

At least they're not being commercial about it. But unwanted private messages are something the admins must deal with. Us moderators only manage subreddit things. The most we can do as a community i...

I understand all what is being said. I was approved by Veterans Affairs to get the Speech Easy device. The deal was is they paid for the device, and I would pay for the monthly insurance fee or what e...

Thank you I try to stay positive everyday, and your right. We have little to no help. Most of the help we get. We tend to have to pay out of pocket. Some health insurance plans won't cover stuttering,...

That's why I'm sceptical with this whole "just accept it and be a happy stutterer" thing which is very popular nowadays. While people recovering from stuttering all the time and it's not a problem lik...

Idk if I'm reading too much into this but if I understand correctly, I think I agree with what you're saying. If you stutter when you give speeches then no, you are not neurodivergent. If it affects o...

No harm done! Imo it's actually great that you asked, giving people a chance to share their experiences and views is the best way to learn about these things. And, you were absolutely right to see si...

Thank you for pointing this out! I'd like to clarify, what I meant by a neurodivergent condition affecting every part of life was more about the characteristics - such as with autism directly affecti...

It is not my intent to be offensive to the neurodivergent community, nor it is my intent to call stutterers or myself neurodivergent. Thank you for letting me know. I will try to edit my post to bette...

From an advocacy POV: I think it'd be extremely offensive to call yourself neurodivergent for JUST a stutter, with no other characteristics. Neurodivergence refers to personality types, and condition...

I believe yes it is, like others above have mentioned. I think the stuttering community is in the midst of a perspective change, namely from the medical model vs the social model of disability ( if yo...

Seconding this. Even though we have observable differences in brain anatomy, “~~neurotypical~~ neurodiverse” means something specific and those differences don’t fit. Edit because I mixed up words....

Is stuttering considered neurodivergent?

Is stuttering considered neurodivergent? Hi, I have recently become very interested in the neurodiversity movement. I was wondering if stuttering was considered neurodivergent or if it considered to b...

The reason I'm trying to talk it down is that we see in other discourses that "genes" are being terribly misunderstood. Some people even start blaming their progenitors for their ailmens, which defini...

It's generally not advisable to correct a tongue tie after you already know how to speak..cuz You'll have to relearn it after the painful surgery....
