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...

Developmental stuttering can be genetic. This guy is spreading some shenanigans information wise........

My stuttering is definitely generic. Both of my parents stutter. Also, many people on my dad's side of the family have a stutter....

Awesome post! ​ Popcorn reading was the bane of my existence too. As girl, there were NO fellow female stutters at school. Even teachers laughed at me. 7th grade was when my parents FINA...

If it's only psychological, why does stuttering run in families? Why do brainscans show stutterers have abnormal brains (high dopamine spikes)? Why does research show stutterers have a restricted bloo...
