I believe as what birdcore has posted that once you are in that mindset of I do not give a fuck mentality that it reduces the pressures and stresses off a PWS a great amount. It might not "cure" stut...

It is an impediment in as much as having blemishes is an impediment to attractiveness. People are driven towards cosmetics to overcome this impediment to attractiveness. When for a person, having se...

Not at all, I just don’t think it’s fair that this is the only narrative people choose to push. I have nothing against those who want to alleviate their stutter but also they shouldn’t feel forced int...

Even at the age of 78f I still haven’t fully made peace with my stuttering. In my case it’s totally situational because of childhood abuse. I’m TOTALLY fluent in casual conversations, even on the phon...

I'm 52 and have yet to find a "cure" or even anything that improves it. It's not a one-size-fits-all disorder and we all have our unique issues/challenges. I have better days and really bad days, with...

You’re assuming that everyone stutters for the same reasons. Some stutters can be overcome but some can’t....

So true. It’s unique to cure stuttering and hurray for anyone who has but for the majority of us who haven’t mastered that, all we can hope for is the normalization of this puzzling disorder. Not all...

I agree. When I was much younger, I thought it was interesting and cool, but as I've gotten older (I'm 52 now), I realize that hearing about famous people like Jame Earl Jones or Marilyn Monroe suppos...

what's your definition of great people and are celebrities considered great people? My take is that celebrities have big egos, and it's a story that sounds good. The fact is that 85% of children gro...

Because great people overcome adversity. Stuttering is a detriment. I don't think anyone here would argue otherwise. It is 100% ok to stutter. But being able to manage or reduce one's stutter is gen...

Why do us stutterers only hear about famous people and how they ‘overcame’ and ‘cured’ their stutter, rather than how it’s ok to stutter?

Why do us stutterers only hear about famous people and how they ‘overcame’ and ‘cured’ their stutter, rather than how it’s ok to stutter? Literally this is all I heard my whole life, especially with S...

And this community isn’t fooling him into thinking there is no hope as they are literally telling him to try and accept it....

To get better at speaking I stopped giving a fuck. All these speaking techniques were just making me more anxious, which in turn heightened my stutter. I stopped worrying and trying to cure myself and...

There’s no official cure (i.e., treatment) for stuttering recovery, but some people do experience stuttering remission under certain conditions, like practicing desensitization, mindfulness, or making...

No it's not. It's the same if someone is obese or too skinny. To gain or to lose weight, it takes time and effort, and if you stop, it may go back. The same with stutter. You either accept it, or do s...

That is the best damn advice. You own your stutter and not allow it to own you. At 47 I am still trying to learn this piece of advice....

Thank you for sharing, and im glad that you had a breakthrough moment in which it strengthened your religous beliefs and found some needed answers. I grew up christian but now am pretty much agnostic...

A deep acceptance of what you were born with not only heals your mind, but also your stutter in many ways. For years, I’ve tried a lot of ways to tackle my stutter head on. I’m now in my mid 20s. From...

There's no cure but you don't need one. You can do everything you want to do and stutter. The trick is to not fight it and let it be. ...

I’m a Christian Calvinist stutterer. God gave us stutters for a purpose, everything is in His hands. But I don’t agree that you’re saying Jesus loves everyone...
