Do you view stuttering as a "disorder" or a "difference"?

Do you view stuttering as a "disorder" or a "difference"? I was on a zoom chat recently with a speech-language pathologist (who doesn't stutter) that is make a film on stutterers. He says that he pre...

Let us know how you go! It's interesting to compare too. The public speaking thing also helps dispel the myth that stuttering has anything at all to do with nerves or anxiety, IMO!...

I don't get all the negative components. Yes stuttering may be tied to some neurological differences, blood flow in your brain, yada yada, but there is an undeniable mental component to it and how man...

Depends what language. Idk why the whole topic of stuttering is centered around English alone....

It’s not a matter of ‘way of thinking’.. it’s an actual speech disorder that recent studies found that stuttering is linked to reduced blood flow in the area of the brain that produces speech! Not t...

>Pretty much everyone here has an anxiety disorder and those who think they don’t have it probably don’t know they have it. What a ridiculous statement. Having anxiety about stuttering isnt remote...

RESEARCH PURPOSES: Do you have any peculiarity regarding your mental process? Better if it's a dopamine related thing, but you can comment anything that you think is strange. Such as being talented i...

What are your opinions on Ecopipam?

What are your opinions on Ecopipam? Just like pagoclone, this drug will probably fail. It's supposed to treat stuttering, but honestly I have no hope that this drug will succeed, Considering that stut...

That’s awful. I’m sorry you had to go through all this. They should have known better! Have you ever tried confronting them? You need to let this out and they need to know they have done you wrong, ...

I have a dissimilar experience to most stutterers that I’ve met (I go to NSF meetings) in that I’m incredibly happy I stutter. My fear of speaking as a child made me writing-crazy, and I developed a f...

Absolutely, it’s a huge part of me. I’m not saying I embrace it fully and that it does not frustrate me, but only reason it frustrates me is because a lot of people people are unaware and unaccepting,...

In general NO. My stutter is in no uncertain terms a 'disability', to put it bluntly. But one that is in my control to quite a large extent, hence I feel personally responsible for keeping it in check...
