yeah true. that's what i meant by the last sentence, some people may stutter due to anxiety, or some people may stutter due to a physical or other problem, its still a stutter...

I'm sure I've read a paper before linking stuttering to auditory processing disorder... I'm like this too though. I didn't really realise how bad I was until the pandemic hit and everyone started wea...

Here’s how I see it. And I consider myself a rather confident stutterer. It’s a neurological condition I can only control to a point. I try and use fluency techniques, but I’m going to stutter, and th...

Following on, why do stutters who become fluent after the McGuire program lose their fluency in a couple months? Do their brain's neuroplasticity revert to its original state, if so how and why, and a...

Wowww, thank you for providing this real eye opener. When you say stutters have a completely different cognitive experience to non-stutters, how does the experience for a person who has gone through ...

You are the man Tom! I like how you mentioned stuttering as a complex of a series of cognitive deficits. Most of us stutterers like myself also have adhd, ocd, and “handwriting jerks/blocks”. But coul...

I see it like there's the potential for the speech system to break down at any time; sometimes the system works, sometimes it hits a snag. We all know that fluency is affected by stress/anxiety/conf...

So why is that in certain situations PWS can be 100% fluent nearly every single time? Shouldn't those "neurological differences" be more or less constant regardless of the speaking situations?...

Drew Lynch got his stutter from a physical injury, so he is a bit of an oddity.(compared to most stutterers)...

For me, it’s like I can’t focus on what the people I’m with are saying. It seems to happen the most in loud restaurants, all the noise is a bit overwhelming. People have told me I look panicked. Doesn...

*Continuation:* # A completely different cognitive experience Reading these studies changed the way I understand stuttering. Before I learned about the neurological studies surrounding stuttering, I...

Neuropathology: why stutterer's brains produce stutterered speech

Neuropathology: why stutterer's brains produce stutterered speech There are posts every week here asking about the causes of stuttering. The good news is, there is actually quite a bit of research on ...

The whole think to speak mechanism is very intricate and a lot of parts working together. Ours is just a little different 😉...

Most seems to agree that it's related to the dopamine levels in the brain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine_hypothesis_of_stuttering There are studies where stuttering in successfully treated w...

Adult onset neurogenic stutterer here. Would have never had a stutter unless I had a brain trauma (encephalitis) first. Past that, no one knows why some people develop a stutter after brain damage....

We aren’t totally sure. We have a lot of clues, but no smoking gun. There are detectable genetic differences, which seem to correlate to measurable differences in brain anatomy and function. There’s b...

The cause of my stutter Is anxiety. Sometimes researchers talks about an imbalance in neurotransmitters, differences in dimensions of the brain area involved in the production of speech. Altough the c...

I know for me it’s either generic or possibly caused by a lack of oxygen when I was born. I’m not sure which caused it...

What is the cause of stuttering

What is the cause of stuttering I am disappointed in the lack of research in this area, does anybody know the reason for stuttering?...
