Genetics is making huge strides. Maybe the more we learn from that will spur research in other areas. Like OP wants to know - the psychology of stutterers. It's really interesting....

Genetic Stuttering Study

Genetic Stuttering Study Hi Everyone! I received this in the mail yesterday. I thought I would share. http://imgur.com/9UIBCmF http://imgur.com/WwppBaa...

Interesting because my brother and I both stutter and I've always wondered if there were any studies being done on this. ...

Genetic Stuttering Experiment

Genetic Stuttering Experiment http://clas.wayne.edu/kraft Would anyone be interested in volunteering? I just got off the phone with a research assistant (I stutter) and they are sending me a saliva ...

The comparison you are making between your "bad social anxiety" and stuttering is incorrect. In many cases, like mine, it's genetic. My father had it, as did other men along his family tree. It ski...

Just watched it and I think it's very inspirational. Maybe you are right, maybe it's all those little puzzle pieces that will help us to become fluent, to "rewire" us. Watching that, I get the sense t...

Well it definitely seems like there's a genetic component as well as environmental triggers for it. I don't think it's a learned behavior, and due to the mental health issues that come along with the...

It's exactly the answer for me. I don't have any other explanation for my situation. My step brother was a stutterer and I became one myself later on. I'm not sure if it's a coincidence. My side of t...

It has already been scientifically proven that the root cause of stuttering is not of an emotional nature. It has been scientifically proven that there are genetic links among stutterers. These are tw...

Does anyone else in your immediate or extended family stutter or are you the only one? It sucks that she would be so insensitive about it...

My Dad has had a stutter since he was able to speak. You wouldn't be able to tell talking to him now though as he has worked words with sounds he has trouble with (the only one I know of is "r" - he u...

I've also heard that it was genetic, and I believe in some people that may be true. In my family the only other person who stutters is the uncle I mentioned earlier, and he is related by marriage. I...

I'm the only person in my whole family who stutters. It's really weird, and makes it harder because no one really understands. A lot of my family has other anxiety related things, though, so that part...

Thanks for sharing. So do you think you started stuttering because you were exposed to those speech patterns? I think it's genetic. I often wonder how much gaming is affecting stutterers. I'm not a g...

I always assumed that being around family members who stuttered could lead to a higher rate of stuttering, but if your siblings were around you *and* your dad and were able to kick the habit.. Interes...

A family tree study would probably yield some interesting results in your case. Not sure how easy it would be to find the data on great grandpa Joe's fluency haha. I assume you guys are fraternal?...

Forgive me if this is too personal, but do you ever feel angry at your dad for passing on his stuttering genes to you? I'm a stutterer too and the thought of having a kid with my stutter makes me anxi...

There is a lot of evidence that stuttering is genetic, which is pretty depressing to me. I have an uncle who stutters but he's always been fluent when I've talked to him. Not sure if he grew out of it...

Hey there, I have a twin brother, and we both had a stutter when we were younger. I realized I had it since midway through elementary school, but for my twin brother he was able to outgrow it the end...

I'm the oldest of four, we all stuttered but the other 3 grew out of it by the age of 7. I've never been able to shake it. My dad has stuttered his whole life as well. So at least I've had him to talk...
