That is very interesting, do you have a reference for the study? Id like to read! ...

First, stuttering can be passed genetically down in families. It's pretty common. For example, my mom, my aunt, and my maternal grandmother all stuttered. This has been well documented. Not all cases ...

Can you share some of your research? I'm a male stutterer who also loves walking on his tippy toes. I had no idea there was a connection...

Will do :)...

I'm not a speech pathologist, just read what I could about it & have my own hypothesis - I think that it could be an inherited tendency, possible mix of DNA. This can be triggered by an incident ...

Been a rough couple of weeks - needed to see this today. Thanks....

I find it offensive. I'm not a fan of "let's pretend we are disabled" so we know what it's like. There's PLENTY of bad press out there about it is dehumanizing to do these exercises. ...

To add on to this; I am a female and the only person in my extended family who stutters. I also was a "toe walker" (walked on my tippy toes) and I've seen some research that makes a connection between...

I haven't been up to date on stuttering research as of late, but what I do recall is an environmental factor that has been studied is persistent childhood ear infections. Whether this may trigger a la...

Genetics of stuttering on my paternal side is weird. My grandfather was a stutterer and he had five boys, 1 of them (my uncle) used to stutter. My dad does not stutter at all, but I do (I'm an only ch...

How many of you think that the predisposition to developing a stutter can be passed on through genes, and whether one develops it depends on environment?

How many of you think that the predisposition to developing a stutter can be passed on through genes, and whether one develops it depends on environment? I just have a general question, just for fun.....

It's weird because the "stutter" gene passes on only to the boys in my family, never the girls....

My father stutters, I do as well. Thankfully, my children do not. It was a huge fear of mine when they were little. ...

I'm the opposite. It's easier for me to say Nicholas rather than Nik. Different strokes for different folk, I guess *shrug*...
