A \*lot\* of kids stutter as they develop, and the vast majority recover spontaneously. I've ID'd three problems in this post: the stuttering, the gasping, and the throat-clearing tic. The stutter...

My oldest never asked questions. Maybe because my stutter had some what improved. I wouldn’t stutter as much, just constantly getting suck with certain words or when nervous. (Since Covid though, my s...

Sad part is, we never ask for pity or tend to cause annoyance. People automatically assume it. Which tends to piss us off. My teachers did nothing about it. In fact they made fun of it more than the s...
