It runs in my family, which makes me think I inherited the predisposition to stutter....

It’s a little bit of everything you said. There are numerous observable differences in the structures of those who stutter, specifically in a section called the planum temporale, and in a connective t...

Do you think that your stuttering is all in your mind?

Do you think that your stuttering is all in your mind? Do you think that your stuttering is all in your mind? Does it have something to do with your brain? Did it appear because of trauma? Maybe you i...

First advice is to not freak out and start being all worried about his speech. Kids can pick up on that and that usually contributes to negative feelings more than anything. Secondly, I haven't heard ...

THANK YOU. legit ive had people tell me that i wont have a stutter if i just had a bit more confidence can people not forget that a stutter can be caused by a brain injury please these tropes c...

Genius!! I've always believed that there is a direct relation between memory and stuttering. When I was young , I used to wish to forget all moments of stutters so I would wake up one day fluent. Howe...

Nobody recalls anyone in my extended family stuttering, just me. Interestingly my adult brother started stuttering around age 40. So now there are two of us, I guess....

We don't know enough about stutter yet to say things for certain with regards to heritability. As an anecdotal counter to your anecdote, absolutely nobody on my father's side stutters. However, my mo...

Its probably not a coincidence since only 1% of the population stutters and the chance of that happening randomly in one family is 0.01% :)...

Actively, none. My dad stutters, although apparently that was just a short phase in his teens, so completely different to my own....

Both my dad and his brother have a stutter. My dad's job involves a lot of talking both on and off the phone so he's gotten better at masking it. My uncle has always been more of a recluse so his has ...

I have a cousin who also stutters. I'm sure it's only a coincidence, but I always thought it was interesting that we were so close in age. She's 1 month older than I am. Interestingly enough, we've ...

How many of you have direct family members that stutter?

How many of you have direct family members that stutter? My stuttering is inherited through my dad and his side of the family. He stutters and so do my uncles....
