By definition, you have to live with it for the rest of your life. Thus, easiest way to live is to learn to live with your stutter and a stoic approach may be the best way to do it: you have little co...

Did you read the study? https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2020.00158/full It says next to nothing. It's just pointing out that research is possible. - It's somewhat weird that the...

To be perfectly honest... it's not advisable to think of stutter in this way. "The good life" isn't hiding behind a wall called stuttering. We're not barred from "happiness" on account of not speaking...

I haven't looked into this too much, but from what I've seen he has dementia and doesn't really stutter, per say. Now, I agree with you that he shouldn't be made fun of for that, but the US president...

This is a bad comparison, and incredibly misleading. Treating stuttering the way you suggest was *the* primary focus of speech therapy for decades. While nowadays, if you have a therapist worth their ...
