I would to SLPs to know that although anxiety and depression has a significant effect on stuttering, this is not the only reason that people may stutter. I have found that although my stuttering gets ...

Well tbh we are born with some connections in our brains that arent as strong like they should be and thats why we stutter. So ya are born with it but for some it gets worse later in their life and th...

How do you account for stuttering that develops later in life? Or as a result or trauma then? Genuinely curious. Have stuttered all my life myself but others I know aren’t the same....

That’s funny because no doctor or speech path has ever been able to conclusively tell me the cause. Is this a newly agreed upon thing?...

Thanks man for being open-minded. Like I said in my other comments, I'm still working on it and will update my thread. Well, it's totally fine with me; people can perceive my thread as whatever, but ...

I’m a second year SLP grad student and my professor who taught my stuttering class has a pretty severe stutter. He’s an SLP and used to work with clients and now he’s doing research and teaching grad ...

"Your original post was nothing but a veiled plea for people to DM you for your cure" Nowhere in any part of my original post did I ever invite people to dm me. Yes, I commented on someone's comment ...

You’re not sharing your story. Your original post was nothing but a veiled plea for people to DM you for your cure (which you’ve also said outright in other comments—which directly breaks the rules of...

Idk why but having a ribbon for stuttering seems kinda insulting to me, all the other ribbons I know of are for life threatening conditions....

I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. I am very much part of the #ok2stutter movement, born out of the social model of disability, that does not look at a person as being disabled but rather a...

There are definitely techniques to help you with your microphone related stuttering but they are a bit too complex to quickly write down, sorry. If it really bothers you I would look for a Speech and ...

What would your advice be for someone struggling with talking over the microphone (for example via Skype, discord, in video games)? I’ve had this goal for a long time and every time I try to speak my ...

It's not actually a debate anymore, the scientific evidence is undisputed. Stuttering is a neurodevelopmental disorder, which means that from birth, the brain of a person who stutters is wired differe...

Do you still stutter and believe that it is an incurable life-long condition? ...

I get very irritated when I hear about a "cure" for stuttering. Stuttering is NOT a sickness. We seek the assistance of SLPs to improve our fluency....

There is zero research to prove this. Speaking with other people who stutter is helpful because you can share advice and talk about difficult experiences. Stuttering is not a contagious virus....
