You cant be born with a stutter, you develop it....

I've stuttered all my life, from what I can remember. I'm I had a brief period of non-stuttering as I was learning to speak. Both my mother, father, and uncles on my mother's side all stuttered so may...

I don’t think mines genetic. Just one of those things I guess? But it’s good to know I’m not alone....

I remember stuttering as early as 6 years old (I’m 20). And my dad stutters too so I guess you could say it’s genetic? Not sure. But to answer the question, yes but with varying degrees of severity....

What do you mean, "born with"? We don't speak for the first couple of years, and stutter usually doesnt set in until a few years later. What's your story in that regard, exactly? :) How's your stutter...

Received "one"? What's that mean? - The point about the genetics thing is that it's not the whole explanation, and we needn't exclusively focus on it. It doesn't tell us much in terms of the actual ...

I received one back in 2013, but I will start it again since it didn't help me much other than helping me overcome my fear of being teased about it. My paternal grandfather was also reportedly a st...

If you don’t mind me asking what medication is it? I can understand the old age aspect. My father is 66 and stutters and I his son (24m) also stutters. His has gotten much better as he has gotten olde...

I have family that speaks only French, and what little French I can speak, omg it’s like watching a train wreck. I’ve stuttered since age 7 after a horrible traumatic experience, I just was not the sa...

I know a few stutterers that have children. None of them stutter. I know even more stutterers that have parents. None of them stutter either. And even if, by the time you have children of your o...

I don't think stutters are genetic like that. I stutter, but neither of my parents have it. The only one in my family is my uncle, and his children don't have it....
