It’s definitely unrelated. A tongue tie may have implications for infant feeding, and if it’s very severe, some articulation problems, but zero relevance with stuttering....

Yeah, and we don't know enough about it yet. It's really hard to say anything general. So maybe it's not that important. As a talking point, you know....

Just to be clear. A stutter and stammer are the exact same things. Secondly I'm just getting the vibe that there's some panic here. That you think he missed out on a job opportunity because of it. Ha...

There's no way we can answer this! Please work with your doctor(s) to see if something like speech therapy can help you. There's no 'cure' for stutter as we know it....

Hi! Fellow stutterer and speech and language therapy student here! Most people do grow out of stammering or find a way to maintain it. Only about 3-8% of stammerers still have a stammer in adulthood (...

Stuttering isn't a mental illness, its a disability. Two very different things... This is kind of how stuttering works. But can you speak completely fluently in non-pressure situations? That's pretty...

To reiterate: I'm fine with my stutter. It doesn't make sense to speak of forcing yourself like that. It won't apply to everyone. It's an attitude - it's not a technique. Also, I don't think your st...
