I'm a scientist and researcher. I'm 99.99% fluent after being a severe stutterer for 25ish years. Can you tell me more about what your hoping to find and the value you see in a correlational study lik...

First, you're not mental or retarded. There's strong research that shows it's due to differences in the way your brain developed. Psychology affects it but it doesn't cause it. Next, get a speech pa...

I have Tourette’s and a stutter. I don’t think either one causes each other for me, but I do think they are very closely related. Right now my stuttering is really severe along with my facial tics...

You should get that checked out by a specialist of some sort (start with your doctor). It's not a common feature of stutter - who knows what it might be an indication of....

I’m not a doctor but I’ve been told Tourettes is closely linked to stuttering, don’t hold my word for it but I’ve noticed a few times that I have very minor tics that come and go. Things like popping ...

There is no correlation, either positive or negative, between intelligence and developmental stuttering....

Yup, that is what stuttering is I believe. It’s not just a speech problem, but rather something else going wrong in your brain that is causing you to stutter. Besides my stutter, I have bad ocd issues...

Ehhhh I would say no..... I'm no expert or anything but because of my stutter and crap I've been placed in special classes all of my life. So I never had the teachings that normal kids had growing up....

No. I would consider myself an intelligent learner,but my stutter does not constitute that, as far as I know. However, I do think that stutterers can develop creative or better language techniques tha...

It's not a general thing, no. It's also not important to focus on IQ scores - but that's a whole topic on its own, and it's somewhat controversial to boot, so I don't think it's all that relevant to ...

> our minds work faster than our mouth hence causing a stutter That's an old misconception, spread around by people who didn't know what stutter was....

That's really high. I've taken online IQ tests and I get between 130-140. There could be truth to the claim, but idk if it is typical for a stutterer to have a high IQ....

This is something that I have been hearing for a long time. For many chronic stutterers(myself included), our minds work faster than our mouth hence causing a stutter. A higher iq could be tied to thi...

Stuttering and IQ

Stuttering and IQ I have heard that stutterers usually have a higher average iq than non-stutterers. How true is this?...

This may be *neurogenic* stuttering which is a little different than *developmental* stuttering, which I think most people on this subreddit have. The good news is, assuming it isn't the result of a b...

Hey! First, I‘m truly sorry you have to go through this. It feels horrible when people you love don‘t respect your stutter. Second, I don‘t know how old you are and also don‘t know if you‘ve had any...

From my limited understanding the only reason people develop a stutter are serious health problems like strokes and what not If I'm wrong someone correct me I've done a good bit of research into stu...

That last one was me trying to reach into some bowel of my mind trying to recall why, that’s why I said “some people think”. My apologies if it was incorrect, it’s been a while since I’ve looked at th...

Studies have shown that people who stutter are slightly more intelligent (their IQs tend to be approximately 10-15 points higher than average I believe), but it’s not necessarily because of their neur...

People who stutter are more intelligent?

People who stutter are more intelligent? Hi guys, I remember being told by a speech therapist that people who stutter tend to be more intelligent on average. Do you find that to be true or do you thin...
