Not many people know about my past because I tend to make up my childhood to prevent people from asking questions about it and feeling bad for me. But was it emotional abuse or physical?...

Your delusions of grandeur are astounding. You are a layman pontificating about something you admit science doesn't know a whole lot about yet here you are staking claim to being some kind of authorit...

You're being completely unreasonable, but I can see that it's entertaining to you, especially the namecalling. You should act more mature if you want to claim to be mature. Nevertheless, for the sake ...

You mean you did a ton of googling or you actually did a research? Did you google vitamin B1 overdose?...

Yeah, from your responses it seems you are invested in the industry. Maybe open your mind a little and consider other aspects of what is a complex issue. You do get Speech therapists that are wise e...

Speech therapists are often not great for stutters(they may work well for other speech pathologies) and they are not even close to being the be all and end all of stuttering support. They typically a...

For me it was trauma which began this stuttering around the time I was 3 years old....

In my case it was trauma. Neglect was also present, but not as much of a factor for this particular issue....

Could being neglected as a child lead to a stutter?

Could being neglected as a child lead to a stutter? I have been stuttering for as long as I can remember and I was neglected as a child so I was wondering if there was a link between them....

I think school/college is the most damning years for stutters. Kids are assholes, period. They WILL make fun of you to show off in class/be humorous/be cool in front of their friends/etc. The sensitiv...

So I had the exact same thing happen to me. Many years of relative fluency, and then I did that once and had trouble saying my name for a year afterwards. MDMA is neuro toxic, dont mess around with ...

Thank you for sharing this thoughts. I consider myself as a tough stutterer. But it wasn't a big issue for me until teacher in school told me to read aloud a piece from a book and before i started she...

Focus on letting some air out before you speak. Try your best to keep your airway open before and while you're speaking. You can start as slowly as needed but if you're fluent then that's all that mat...

Hi! I think your analogy is great. I’m a 20 y/o with a stammer, and have been in and out of speech therapy all my life. I personally like to address my stammer all the time, always trying to find way...

I had to resign from my current job mostly because I don't have the time off for a major surgery I'll have at the end of the month, but I had promising interview yesterday so fingers crossed. I think...

When you were younger, was your stutter ever a big deal? Did you ever go through speech therapy or anything? I’m sorry that it’s starting to be such a negative thing with your new career. I wonder i...

I've been a lifelong stuttered, but it's only coming to light now because it's interfering in a new career I started. I went to a speech therapist on Friday and she thinks mine is quite severe. I hav...

I just made a similar comment above. I believe the SLP made my stutter worse due to increasing my being self conscious about it. I’m now 28 and I believe that being forced into speech therapy as a kid...

I agree 100%. I believe SLP’s made my stutter worse. I started stuttering when I was maybe 4 or 5. My parents made a massive deal about it and forced me to go to speech therapy. I absolutely hated it...

I know I am 3 days late but a great example I saw was in Pan's Labyrinth. Basically a soldier that has a stutter is being tortured and the torturer mocks him and tells him that if he can count to 3 w...
