I'm a polytechnic lecturer and I stutter. I have been able to control my stutter when teaching but sometimes it's just way out of control...

Maybe alittle bit different but yes. Distant relationship. We been together for maybe 2 years and call often. My stutter and speechblocks doesn't bother my partner at all. In fact, the moment I got in...

>I propose that a dysfluency characterized mainly by repetition is quite different once it develops into hard blocks and secondary behaviors. I agree with you. IMO, a mild stutterer repeats more (...

It’s great to hear that you have come such a long way. That gives hope to many, including myself. I agree with your explanation of blocks. That’s what I’ve been living with for a couple decades. Here...

Regarding that 80% rate compared to a different outcome as you get older : I teach young children and know that they all have times when, for all different reasons, they speak w dysfluency. Most do ...

It’s really hard tho when u start stuttering all of a sudden and people are engaged with your speech to stop and take a breath...

I tried something like this years ago but it didn't really help someone like me. I'd still speech block regardless. But thanks for sharing...

Amazing tip 'breathe in and out'. The next question then is: if we freeze our articulators, how do we make our tongue and jaw move?...

The key that helped me was breathing

The key that helped me was breathing Knowing when and how to take a short breathe in order to get air for talking helped my stuttering almost completely. Its not 100% normal for me yet but I just have...

Depends. What stutter do you have? Repetition? Blockage? I used different methods to get rid of those....

When I use the phone I have a pen and paper with me and write words that I get stuck on as I’m saying them. Works for me, probably because my brain is distracted by the act of writing....

All the above for me lol. I definitely struggle with words that begin with R and W though the most...

‘Anticipatory Struggle Hypothesis’, which posits that the anticipation of upcoming speech or communication failure causes people who stutter (PWS) to make adjustments to their way of speaking that res...
