There are thousands of us that have to deal with exactly the same stuff as you went, and are going. through. You're not alone. As for the ADHD link, I'm not sure. I know that my brain churns out too ...

Same, I stutter with my parents but not with my siblings and close friends. It’s weird....

Intriguing. How widely accepted is this theory? Does it explain all stuttering? Is there corrective surgery?...

I’ve seen that as well, but your post was the only thing I’ve seen regarding “post vax stuttering”. For the record, the person I’m talking about is a 60yo/F with no history of stuttering. Also, she sa...

Yeah it’s definitely interesting. I’ve read some studies where the actual COVID-19 infection can cause some neurological issues (such as stuttering) but nothing about the vaccine itself. But, regardl...

Sounds like his stutter may have been brought on by the stress of West Point, which would be a psychogenic, rather than neurogenic stutter. So, if Allen's stutter was psychogenic, it makes sense that ...

Oh yeah definitely, I get these “handwriting blocks” too. We think of stuttering as just a thing that effects our speech, but in reality it is a disorder in where a part of our brain (the left inferio...

I would hate to disagree with Norman Doidge. He is a brilliant guy and definitely on the right track. Was Doidge specifically discussing stuttering or was he speaking in general? People have all so...

I don't think you can rewire your brain. Stuttering seems to be a neurological problem with the brain wiring out of kilter. The brain gets confused when it hears its own voice and hence stuttering o...

I agree that's it a psychological problem but the I inherited it from one of my parents so there is also a physical problem to my understanding. Shame there isn't much research into stuttering....

I read a lot of stories where parents didn't take it seriously. On the other hand, my parents took it way too seriously which has ended up backfiring. The root of my stuttering is my cerebral palsy, s...

Stuttering as a disorder has nothing to do with anxiety or nerves. They can make it worse, but they aren’t the root cause. What the root cause is, we don’t know, but we know that there are strong gene...

I feel like insecurity, low self confidence are huge factors of why we stutter. As well as traumatic experiences, problems with our neurodevelopment, and maybe other neurological disorders etc. I don’...

Don't get me wrong, I don't it's the explanation 100% for sure. I just think there is enough evidence to suggest that it may be a factor. None of this is 100% and even the experts don't understand how...

Possibly, but I'm wondering if the Broca's area experiences other abnormalities when someone stutters. For example, the Broca's area is particularly active when it comes to imitating behavior, and han...

Risperidone and olanzapine have anxiolytic and sedating properties. I don't think sufficient evidence has been presented to distinguish the effects of the perceived improvement in stuttering from redu...

I don't think it's wrong. There's a good amount evidence, including the fact that dopamine antagonists lessen symptoms. It's not a cure, but it can help. Albeit with bad side effects. The hope for ec...

Then I think you are likely to be disappointed. The preliminary clinical trial which subsequent studies are based on was pretty low quality. To memory, its flawed by low participant numbers, high loss...

What I usually do is transfer all the tension onto my eyes, which is why I usually have them wide open. A stutter is caused by a blood flow deficiency to the Brocca area of the brain. We can control i...
