Where do you live and what is your primary language? I only ask because your English and spelling see so good. I'm 76 years old, stuttered from the age of 5 and at 70 I fully recovered. My stutter wa...

Hi. I'm Sue. I stuttered from age 5 until I was 70. I spent years learning about stuttering. What you’ve described doesn't sound like what I recognize as cluttering other than the rapidity when excite...

I’m not sure what “try to outgrow stuttering” means. Does it mean speech therapy? There’s nothing wrong with that. Does it mean hoping it goes away, like how my dad’s stutter went 95% away after he tu...

Is it possible? It's rare, but yes. My suggestion would be to go to a reputable speech therapist to have an evaluation done. Perhaps going to the doctor would be the first step to rule out anything ...
