There are a wide range of brain disorders, or disabilities including stuttering that might be ‘cured’ in the next 50-100 years. A cure would come in the form of either pre birth prevention (we are se...

Stuttering in principle is not merely about anxiety or confidence. We don't know how exactly stutter is caused, but we know there are likely many possible factors involved. If anxiety and confidence ...

I’m a person who stutters and I do identify as disabled and do consider my stutter a disability. I also know other folks who stutter who neither identify as disabled nor think stuttering is a disabili...

Yes, it is a speech impediment in the same way one would have trouble with his eyes or ears. Just with speaking....

God gave people a stutter for a reason. He made everyone perfect according to his image. It is not a disability. Not in his eyes....

If you mean at the legally recognizable level, I can’t speak for other countries but it can be in Canada. There’s also numerous causes for stuttering so it depends on what you’re working with (e.g. ac...

That's interesting because it's the opposite of me and most of the others that commented under my post. You're right, it shows how different sutters can be. I really wish that it would be studied bett...

Im a Neuroscience PhD candidate, and have done alot of research into the pathology of stuttering. The hard part with discovering the root of the disorder and subsequently a medication is that stutteri...

It would be an amazing world if there were the will to address this. If this invisible disability were at least acknowledged....

You should see a speech therapist, they'll know what's best for her. You can't expect her to grow out of it, it's like thinking that a blind person will eventually be able to see again, it's not the s...

Folks I just wanna let you know that...

Folks I just wanna let you know that... your stutter shouldn’t define you as a person and you should love yourself for who the universe made you! We’re all in a club, a super cool, compassionate, open...

No, stuttering isn't something we should just accept as something to not be changed. It shouldn't be something to be shamed, but it is debilitating. If someone has advice for me to help me speak bet...

Exactly. To say that stuttering or any other speech impediment is just a ‘difference’ rather a disorder is ridiculous. First, because by saying that he’s sugarcoating reality. Political correctness b...

One thing my dad (also stutters) tried to teach me growing up is that being unable to talk fluently in fact gives you an advantage. I know this sounds really strange but not being able to talk has gi...

A difference sounds like you choose to stutter. So it's a disorder to me. Although I don't consider myself with a disability as I can still perform mental and physical tasks like everyone else....

Disorder, or impairment, or disability. Namely because as a multiply disabled dude I've seen too many times when the word 'difference' has really been meaning 'not like the physically disabed' and tha...

I think it’s the social anxiety that is triggered by stuttering that does this. There are ways to work on the anxiety. Honestly it’s mostly just not giving a fuck what other ppl think of it and stayin...

It is a disorder. I understand the motivation of framing it as a difference to give people not the impression that they are flawed. But it does more bad than good i think. You have to come to see that...

I'd say it's definitely a disorder, people won't even be able to visualise how the stammerer feels from inside It constantly gives you self-doubt and low self esteem...

Absolutely a disorder. It stops me from speaking properly. This isn't like high-functioning autism where people function differently but ultimately do function. Stuttering isn't a different way of spe...
