First of all, as far as you know, nobody in your family stuttered. I only found out two years ago that my dad stuttered. I'm 27 and he left when I was 15. He always carried a lot of shame and told me ...

You didn't offend and I'm sorry if my comment seemed aggressive. We're all in the same boat here. There is actually a ton of research on it. I have a science background and am currently in medical sch...

I think you're overreacting. Of course it can be mostly generic but the possibility of it being physiological is still there. Nobody in my family stutters or had a stutter ever in their lives. Mine ap...

Another multilingual stutterer here! I really think that there is a chance of a stutter developing when learning new languages as a kid. Not sure how that works tho...

It’s crippaling for sure. I saw you said you were a female in this thread, I remember reading a study at some point saying most people with a stutter are male. I wonder why that is, I don’t remember t...

Is it possible could a child develop a stutter if the parent has it?

Is it possible could a child develop a stutter if the parent has it? ...

It absolutely originated from a traumatic event. I was 4 years old at the time. I'm now 66. If there is a genetic propensity for it? I definitely think so....

Oh, I didn't mean to offend anyone, I'm sorry if it was the impression. I stutter since I was like 5 o 6 years old (21 now) and I always thought it was related to some events that happened in my life...

I'm going to stop this right here. It was previously believed that stuttering is linked to psychological/emotional trauma. There is absolutely no evidence backing this up and can in fact be pretty dam...

I’m left handed and I was forced to write with my right hand growing up. When I was younger and experimenting with different sports, I played baseball and I golfed right handed so I could just use m...

Any left-handed stutterers out there?

Any left-handed stutterers out there? I know that's a rather specific demographic. I'm asking not because I have a specific question I just wonder if they exist. I probably should start at the begin...

I am a father that also stutter. My personal experience is 50%. My daughter stutters, but my son doesn't. Both are still awesome kids even the non-stutterer :) No regrets....

Lifelong stutterer here. Quick story from when I was around 14ish

Lifelong stutterer here. Quick story from when I was around 14ish A bad one I had a decade ago was when I called up Xbox live because my Xbox 360 hard drive corrupted I think. The lady on the other en...

I have one and so do my dad and his dad. My brother does not have one and my dad's sister also does not have one....

I was a severe stutterer. My dad was a mild stutterer. So if you stutter then there is a high chance of your kid being stutter too. However, if you teach your kids the right techniques to handle stutt...

There seems in part to be a neurological component that's inherited. I by far have the worst stutter (and other speech impediments) in my family. However, both my paternal uncle and grandmother stutte...

There is some evidence of genetics playing a role, but almost as much evidence as genetics NOT playing a role. There have been studies on families with stutterers, families with just one stutterer and...

I have a stutter but nobody else in my family had one going back to my great great grand parents. My daughters two if she has to deal with this shit I’ll be pissed....

No it's not well understood, but statistically there is roughly half as many women who stutter than men. So I just correlated that to birth likelihood...

I shared your concerns because I wouldn't want my children to experience the pain and anguish of having a stutter. Having said that, there's not enough research out there regarding genetics. Why w...
