I feel like my ability to effectively communicate is worsening day by day and I'm becoming Anti-Social, I don't feel like talking in front of strangers. Will speech therapy help?

Thanks for sharing your experience! I've heard similar things from a few others as well. I have periods of time (for me, usually just a few hours) where I don't notice any stuttering occurring. It's i...

Joe Biden is the way he is because he is 81… actually no. He is the way he is because he probably has onset dementia. My nan is in her 90’s, she is still a fierce and sharp woman. I wouldn’t put her i...

I did a speech therapy course and it didn't go well for me. I'm sure it's helped others but really depends on how severe your stutter is?...

Good question. I know my fluency suffers when I’m not at peak mental performance (lack of sleep, stressed, etc.) so I bet it does get worse with age. But Joe isn’t an ā€œaverage Joe,ā€ so he’s under a mi...

Watching Biden with Stephanopoulous… Is this my future? I can keep it together, with a combo of word substitution and creative pausing, but when I’m 80, will I seem like a senile mess?...

No. Not every word, but just random enough to scare me and surprise others. It’s really bad when you’re mostly fluent and you see that pitying look in someone’s face who knows you as a non-stutterer....

Stutter can be 100% cured, many cases resolve in childhood, some even in adulthood, and it's real cure, not just management. In my case, I had a decade of speaking absolutely fluently in the most stre...
