As I explained below in my answer to a comment, stuttering is a neurodevelopmental disorder so it can't have started because your uncle "cursed" you. It is more likely that you have a genetic predispo...

It's not actually a debate anymore, the scientific evidence is undisputed. Stuttering is a neurodevelopmental disorder, which means that from birth, the brain of a person who stutters is wired differe...

There’s debate about how a stutter comes to be. And as there’s no sound evidence that points to cause .. I imagine debate will continue. Some argue that it is a result of injury, some suggest it’s her...

“Lack of learned skills” explain to me how I haven’t learns how to speak when I used to be able to speak fluently and can now speak more articulately than a non-stutterer in certain situations. “Con...

For myself, someone with a mild case, - when I drink, my stutter almost completely disappears - I’m more fluent when I speak in an unfamiliar language - when I learn new techniques that prove effe...

Stutter, brain tumor and brain surgery

Stutter, brain tumor and brain surgery I have had a stutter all my life. No other explanation than 'poor speech motor skills'. Practice/speech therapy would never help me. I went to have a MRI almost...

THis is what I do as well. I was never severe, but the sheer unpredictability of it was exhausting... maybe even more so if it had been worse and more constant. I think that there are three component...

You mentioned writing really slow and with coordination? I have really messy hand writing because I write really fast, would that have any relation to my stutter?...

Not me, but I read that general learning disorders are caused by it. As speaking is also something you train and learn, I can imagine it could be related. But would knowing it is related change someth...

agreed, also "there is nothing physically wrong with you!" well, there a neurologically broken path ways in a stutters brain that need to be trained and re-routed. Exercises and breathing practice ca...

There are plenty of people with physical ticks and head jerks/eye closing they do when they stutter. The good news is these are learned behaviors and can be unlearned with the help of a proper slp who...

We speak on an out-breath so yes, we do need breath support for speech. It is true that breathing is an automatic reflex but an increase in muscle tension (e.g. due to stress) and/or wrong posture can...

Thank you for sharing. That there are more left-handed people who stutter is a myth. Even if you stutter and are left-handed that does not make it empirically relevant. Some people own cats and stutte...

This isn't correct. We all use our diaphragm for breathing and we can't speak without air - so our diaphragm is obviously involved in speaking....

To add onto this, I’m on the McGuire Programme and it’s main basis is that stuttering is the “act of holding back” so this obviously ties into many factors; anxiety, depression and stress that initiat...

I have tried many things, and honestly have improved slightly, or just improved my mindset approaching it. I’m curious your experiences with CBD, as that’s something I’ve looked into as well. So far I...

I completely understand all of the frustrations you have as I've felt the same or similarly. The only way your stutter is ever going to get better is if you actively work on it. What step(s) are yo...

To be clear, no one on here can confirm for you whether it is TBI related or not. Only a professional can determine that. We are just letting you know that TBI's have been known to cause speech issues...

Yes. This is known as TBI (traumatic brain injury) induced stutter. It is more common then you think. My wife is an SLP who specializes in stuttering and they see it quite often. If you believe this t...

yes. even something as seemingly small as a concussion can cause speech problems. However, these are transient and usually improve over time. Of course repeated TBI's can cause persistent speech pro...
