It makes sense that stuttering behavior causes emotional issues that exacerbate it. It seems like you aren't taking the strong genetic component of stuttering into account, unless, of course, you coun...

I see 60% as genetic. Is that what you're defining as neurological? Roughly how much higher would the neurological be if we included things like injuries? Source: https://www.stutteringhelp.org/f...

Stutters vary immensely person-by-person and there is a giant lack of research to create common phenotypes despite the commonality of it as a disorder. I don't think solely repetitions by themselves a...

Yes. For example, you're asking about the different types of stuttering and if stuttering tends to disappear with time. Most people here suffer from developmental stuttering, but your character stut...

In your opinion, neurogenic and developmental stuttering are different enough to be researched as two different things?...

You're doing research on something that isn't necessarily pertinent to your character. Long lasting consequences of brain injuries are very different from innate stuttering. The medical and psychologi...

Questions on writing a character with a stutter

Questions on writing a character with a stutter Hello Reddit! I am working on a story that includes a character with a stutter. Since I don't have one myself, I wanted to reach out to people who do, t...

Thank you! Me too, I have a mindset and anxiety to stutter on these words. I'm curious. If we have never experienced involuntary stutters, does that actually mean that your stutter (and my stutter) is...

Thank you! Me too. I'm curious. If we have never experienced involuntary stutters, does that actually mean that your stutter (and my stutter) is not neurological? (there are neurogenic and psychogenic...

I'm INTJ, but recently, an SLP asked me to do an interview and some psychological tests, and according to my results, I'm extroverted. I think stuttering made me an introvert as a kid....

We'll agree to disagree. I've never heard of anyone developing stutters just randomly out of the blue. But I've not met many people who stutter anyway. It is also well documented that stuttering in so...

Yeah there's people who get it from things like strokes and ptsd but there definitely many cases of people getting it later in life usually in their 20s. This makes me question how it's a neurological...

I've personally not heard of any people who've developed actual diagnosed stutters later in life that aren't trauma related. I've heard of stroke induced ones....

If that's the case then why can people develop stutters later on in life without any trauma...

Trying to find it now. I promise it's out there - it is connected with Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis. I know that among Asheknazi Jews who stutter, you normally have one or both in the gene pool,...

I am in the school of thought that stuttering is a neurological condition. Unless it is trauma induced, which mine is not....

Yeah, I'm not suggesting every Ashkenazi Jew stutters - they don't. I'm also not suggesting if you're an Ashkenazi Jew and stutter, it is the Ashkenazi Jewish gene causing the stutter. But stuttering...
