Do you ever feel like you're "wired" differently than everyone else?

Do you ever feel like you're "wired" differently than everyone else? I already know I'm different from everyone else. I knew early on that my thought process is not typical and I didn't necessarily "f...

Thanks a lot. SLP doesn't use the factors I mention. I corrected all the factors causing speech disorders. Owing to that I could speak in a job interview totally relaxed and fluent without any techniq...

It has my vote. Stuttering has always felt like a neurologic “misfire” to me. I don’t have Tourette’s but have read up/watched several documentaries on it and sufferers explain it in a way that rings ...

I wonder if it is something to do with the basal ganglia. I also suspect i May have a mild form of Tourette’s because of some other symptoms, but if that’s the case, I’d probably assume it would have ...

Yes! This does happens to me. Like pressing a key on keyboard extra times or “stuttering” a normal motion. It’s hypothesized that Tourette’s Syndrome and Stuttering are both some sort of neurological...

There are very few studies done on stuttering, true, but of the studies done so far, the evidence points to a neurological difference in the brains of stutterers. On a balance of probabilities, this i...

Great answer, and I said something similar too. Stuttering is a neurological condition caused by a deficit in the timing cues of the Basal Ganglia (and possibly other speech production control areas o...

What’s wrong with the quoted statement? It’s actually factually true: Stutterers have been shown to have deficits in the timing cues in the speech center of their brains. It’s likely the main cause be...

It’s not a “learning disability”. That would suggest stuttering affects your learning ability, memory, or IQ, which we know it doesn’t. Stuttering is a physical disability caused by deficits in the ...
