You don't get to decide how others perceive their stutter. That's incredibly ignorant. There are people who stutter who are actors and doctors and corporate executives and don't view their speech as a...

I’m a lifelong PWS and while this is remarkable to read, I highly doubt any of it is true. Personally if it was true there’d be way more evidence provided. This whole entry just feels like a advertis...

I think he simplifies it extremely. There is no cure. If you stutter into adulthood, you'll likely stutter your whole life. You can only manage it and gain a higher level of fluency. I think it also...

Thank you for sharing. That there are more left-handed people who stutter is a myth. Even if you stutter and are left-handed that does not make it empirically relevant. Some people own cats and stutte...

Don't like them referring to people who stutter as victims or automatically concluding stuttering itself as misery (even though I know many of us would agree. Also I thought the left handed writing ri...

stuttering terminology

stuttering terminology So, next Monday I am giving a TED talk at my company about stuttering/hidden diversity, and an interesting recent issue that came up is stuttering terminology. Is "speech impe...

Sounds like BS. Anyone espousing a cure shouldn't be taken seriously because frankly, we don't know if it is a physical condition. (A lot of people, myself included, would say that their stutter is mo...

The tics you are describing are most likely coping mechanism that can be eliminated, but it is possible you have other conditions. I consider Tourette's to be similar at least in consequences, anxiet...

This reminds me of this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/9we1s1/communication_aid_that_never_gets_mentioned/ It would be better to learn sign language and befriend the deaf community ...

I mean it sounds like a stutter to me. You could see a speech pathologist if you wanted to but I have a moderate stutter and don’t bother, it doesn’t effect my life too much. If it’s something you...

But maybe it's not just genetic, It could also be cultural(although I very much doubt it). But therapy for stutterers have shown that your attitude to your stutter can harm or improve your influency, ...

This is some pretty nifty transhumanist shit! (And also, it's quite worrying, but let's not focus on that just yet.)...

Well, if the job function is to actually speak a bunch, especially if it ties in with PR considerations... I don't think we can argue qualification in spite of that fact... I mean, I'm certainly luck...

It seems like you aren’t that interested in trying speech therapy but I would encourage you to see someone because it sounds like you don’t have the most current techniques. There is no cure for stutt...

It sounds like you might have multiple traits going on there in your speech. You should get it analyzed by a professional. Perhaps it's not even stuttering, but instead cluttering?...

Alright, let's just get a few pointers out there for you. :) - 1: There's no need to hide your stutter. Stutter is a thing that happens for some people. It's not going to upend your world. It's just...

There is currently no cure for stuttering. That's a scientific fact. It is also not true that we don't stutter when we're alone. Take a look through the various YouTube channels run by people who stu...

That is not true! The OP changes voice, and therefore triggers the brain to use different routes. It's the same reason why one doesn't stutter when singing, and why some people don't stutter when th...

If stuttering isn't ok, that means you're not ok. And if you believe you're not ok, that's a rough life to live. Stuttering is definitely ok. If you don't like the way you are stuttering, there are th...

Just to be clear, psychological disabilities are just as real as a physical handicap. I know I'm picking on your wording, but it's important to acknowledge the truth of the matter in the words we us...
