That's the thing, stutter as a phenomenon has huge variance. I think that must make it hard to study/research. It also makes it hard to say something universal, or rather, it becomes very important t...

Who are these many others? I know around 1000 of stutterers due to being a member of McGuire and attending their courses and only a small minority had a psychological stutter. One exposure course was ...

I'm sorry but I disagree, I used to stutter really intense in front of my dad (who pressured me to speak normal the most), and on my own I was perfectly fluent. This to me means it's purely psychologi...

It's not about making it a taboo subject, it's about shifting it from a "real" problem to just a normal part of learning to speak. In my case and many others', the stutter isn't real, it's just a psyc...

> Some stutters are psychological, like I said I'm fluent alone, and stutter more in certain circumstances. That is a psychological problem That in no way proves a stutter is only psychological in...

I'm just sharing what's helped me, and the only theory that makes sense to my situation, and many others. This guy's helped a lot of people. Why is it there's way more stutterers in western countries...

I take so much issue with this, I don't even know where to start. I guess with the presumption that the majority of stutterers don't have a familial link (citation???). Or maybe with the weird hardl...

Right, the stuttering is not a behavior. And it's not a problem for society. It's an individual issue that needs therapy or at least patience: In a courtroom, accommodations can be used so that things...

I'm not sure what you mean. There is no reason to separate the stutterers to study stuttering; That seems to be BS, pretending to be an expert. I have repetitions, and I have times when there is no ...

Oof, there is a lot of controversy around speech and stuttering and whether or not "behavior" is an accurate term. In some disciplines, "behavior" implies voluntary choice. For the most part, the act...

I'd wager neuropsych. The brain is one of the most complex things we have, and psychology comes from neurology. The mind and the brain are one, at least most clinicians would agree they are- so when i...

What do you mean? Behaviors can take place alongside all sorts of other behaviors (this includes speech). We do it all the time....

I agree with you. And psychology is more of a behavior thing. Speech is not a behavior, it's just talking. Some people are not even thinking much when they talk....

That's not real evidence (one story of one person, non tested): A psychologist can never prove their theories. I'm referring to real proof. The scientific method has to be used... And these doctors wa...

That guy is not a leading expert on stuttering and has view on stuttering is not backed up by science. I stutter when I talk to myself in an empty room and know of others who do too. That alone doesn...

No Stuttering is a difference in your brain. Something is “wired” differently. It can be developmental or acquired (through brain injury). The Colgate website refers to articulation disorders rela...

> I found that when I say "I have a speech disorder" instead of "I stutter" the reactions are much better. Me too! I also say speech disorder or impediment because it's easier for me to say than "...

Sure, but perhaps those are more visible and/or severe and/or better understood and/or more alleviable. I don't really know those statistics....

Only about 1% of the world stutters. We can't expect awareness to be terribly high, especially when it's not present until someone speaks (and actually stutters during). "Stuttering" has a colloquial...

I'm totally with you on this being frustrating. I think it comes back to a misunderstanding of what stuttering (the disorder we have) is. Sure, people are disfluent sometimes. I trip over my words but...
