Should we stop calling our condition as stuttering?

Should we stop calling our condition as stuttering? When we tell ourselves "Don't think about X" our mind actually thinks about X even more. For example, sports athletes who think a lot about not fail...

There are far too many factors involved with stuttering for us to know truly why or what causes stuttering or what causes suddenly fluency. I’m not saying you are doing this, but I’ve read “articles” ...

I'm sorry, but that's not true. You can accept it in your life, but that doesn't mean it isn't a sickness. That's like saying schizophrenia is not a sickness and only a part of yourself, just no...

I know we don't know. I also know that stuff shared on the internet gets passed around. That's why I wrote what I wrote. It's a concern what gets passed around (as mentioned previously)....

I don’t doubt your program delivers success. Stuttering is a motor speech disorder that is incurable, and to say it isn’t is dishonest. Varying degrees of fluency can be improved and maintained. Howev...

This may not be a stutter. Also, if it is, it's not a proper explanation of stuttering. What I mean to say is - visibility is fine, but we don't want misleading knowledge with it....
