>repeatedly enforce your convictions on language? Misleading remark. Working with our language - which means our cognition (in this context) - as it pertains to being stutterers is important. - ...

Given the frequent and detailed discussions regarding subconscious behavior as it relates to stuttering, the majority here appear to understand the principle behind it. If you truly care and want to ...

I think it's exceedingly important which models of self-understanding we subscribe to. The mainstream "scientific" language does not suffice. But we obviously do not have the same convictions about la...

This is being pedantic and you repeatedly to do so in this sub by stating most variations of subconscious/unconscious activity as being 'not a scientifically valid term'. If you require scientific l...

Developmental stuttering is not a subcategory of dysphasia. Also, conversion disorders are not a subcategory of dysphasia. Would agree that there doesn’t seem to be much of a similarity or associati...

Do you mean dysphasia? Dysgraphia is similar to dyslexia but it deals with more numbers. And to answer your question, Stuttering is a subcategory of dysphasia, I have conversion disorder, which makes ...

Re: Steve Harvey's recent show where he talked about a "cure" for stuttering and disparaged SLPs

Re: Steve Harvey's recent show where he talked about a "cure" for stuttering and disparaged SLPs Not that I think Steve Harvey is super relevant these days, but I wanted to say something here. There i...

What do you mean, "treat"? Seems to me there's a difference between something being used to make someone less anxious, and something being used to _treat a stutter_. The latter might not even make sen...

Not everyone on this sub is working toward not stuttering. Some are wishing they didn't stutter at all. Some are wishing that if they have to stutter, that it could be less. Some are or have done...

Yeah, there is a difference between someone stuttering and someone *being* a stutterer. This guy is not a stutterer, he is actual a very fluent speaker--therefore it makes sense that the anomaly of su...

I think you're being a bit sensitive. In the English language the word stuttering is used to convey both behavior and disorder. The behavior exhibited by Kavanaugh is often called stuttering. It's dif...

Are you a stutterer (physical/neurological motor control issues), or just someone who just trips up occasionally on these things? (Not trying to gatekeep, my advice would just differ for each)...

Well, no. Because we can't just turn off all emotion and everything that makes us human. I mean, theoretically, if we dissociated hard enough that we cease seeing other people as other people, then ye...

That's the thing... Age is highly, highly related the curability. The Lidcombe program is generally used for kids this young. It isn't perfect, but there are cases of kids this young getting treatmen...

What are you supposed to do? 99% of us have spent our entire lives and thousands of dollars in speech therapy that did nothing for us. You can’t cure stuttering. You can learn to manage it and look li...

Pediatricians know nothing about stuttering. The "wait until the kid is 5" is based on nothing but social myth. In SOME kids, waiting is appropriate. In others, it is not. Early childhood stuttering i...

While about 5% of children age 2 to 5 stutter, 80% of them spontaneously recover. That's probably why the pediatrician is telling you to wait. What I'm saying is that it's a matter of *risk*. It's no...

You need to get her into speech therapy immediately (I really do mean that; do it as soon as possible). Girls are more likely than boys to spontaneously recover from stuttering, but if she doesn't, s...

I want to slap your teacher across their face. You were fine stuttering back then and you would be fine stuttering now. I wouldn't seek out techniques or anything because that only reinforces that stu...

> it means that it's not physical, but only in your head That's not what this means. If there was one misconception of stuttering I could nuke from wide orbit, it'd be this one right here, lol. ...
