Stutter vs Stammer?

Stutter vs Stammer? I am just curious if anyone knows if there is a difference between "stuttering" and "stammering"? Or are they just two words meaning the same thing? People always ask me if theres...

Sure, but for my friend, the thing that’s always on his mind is walking. He thinks his disability is worse than mine. It’s purely subjective. I can’t say if one is worse than the other. Stuttering h...

Yeah you're totally right. Everyone has like a disorder and shouldn't be afraid to show it nor talk about it, because no one is better than the other...

That doesn't sound right. Stutter is defined as not being able to talk fluently. It is by this defect that we can acquire anxiety and stress in speaking situations to begin with. Stutter doesn't come...

Stuttering doesn't come from anxiety, it's not a contagious disease, and it's not Tourettes syndrome. All of these are things people have assumed about my stutter....

Sadistic as it is, it is an onomatopoeia of course (a word that sounds like its meaning), similar to lisp...

No. I stutter even when talking to myself. I'm not the only one. We stutter because we have a communication disorder. Maybe he should write a book about tourettes and subconsciousness....

Ahhh, the psychogenic theory of stuttering. OP, there's a lot of debate about this. Don't act like your daughter is a freak, but the "don't tell them they're stuttering or they will continue to stut...

I think I’m a kinder, more accepting person because of it. I also wouldn’t have found my chosen career without it (SLP). I work with a lot of preschoolers on the autism spectrum. I find that I don’t g...

That seems to be the case - medicine stil seems to be only beginning in not only the understanding of neuropsych, but of neurology in general. Things like stuttering we just literally don't know the c...

Yes! This condition and other speech related conditions don’t need more ridicule they need acceptance and understanding. I hope everyone will understand better someday and in the mean time more work w...

They do appear to be related, although the verdict is still unclear (a bunch of stuff seems to be related in this area, so it's not a unique connection). But there doesn't appears to be any subordinat...

Yes but the problem is not just the simpletons. 90% of well meaning, intelligent and wise people do not understand the effect stutter has on one's life, career, health. One of my parents, extremely ki...

That was my thought too. It seems stuttering and other related issues have become sort of the forgotten mental disorder......

Hey, let me return the favor and thank you for being one of the few who completely get it and even reaches out in support. It really helps! I do wish that stutter was treated as a disability. Not to ...

Salam friend. Please don’t think that way. I care, we all care about you and you can work daily on this. Please don’t give up. Praying for you. Sorry if this translation is bad. And I don’t know if...

Thank you for your explanation (even though I still find the correct grammar here confusing, haha). I guess it is why there is that term "people who stutter". I prefer that one but I guess it is too l...

“Stutter Association” just doesn’t make sense grammatically. Yes, you have “a stutter” but “stuttering” is the word to refer to the overall concept. Exactly like “hunting” or “fishing.” It’s a little...

What do you mean by “recovered”? Do you mean to say you are able to use fluency techniques to reduce/eliminate stuttering? Or are you saying that you never stutter at all? Edit: this lady is a (perh...

All right, I had to think about this one a little and hopefully I can explain it clearly. *Strictly speaking* the phrase "a stutter" only describes a singular instance. The thing is, we often say "he...
