Yeah, that's definitely the case with me. It's not just a speech disorder, it's more like a brain disorder. I just won't talk on the phone while driving because it's a serious danger if I start blocki...

Stuttering affect on motor skills

Stuttering affect on motor skills I have noticed that when I'm driving and stuttering really bad that I start to have trouble driving. It's hardest during the stutter and then it still feels more diff...

Try to just talk to people by saying little things like hi or ask a question... It kinda helped me...

I'm not a doctor but I work in a hospital. Speech disorders are a common result of brain injury. You should get checked out. Edit: car crashes can easily cause bleeding within the brain even when the...

Hello, Short answer: I recommend you go see a doctor or a neurologist. After that a speech therapist. Also check out this link: https://www.stutteringhelp.org/neurogenic-stuttering ...

Yes go see a doctor, this is not normal. Maybe it is something that can be physically diagnosed and a better form of treatment? Trust me you don't want to go through your whole life stuttering. ...

Pretty much. It's already been proven that the brains of PWS have distinct differences from the brains of PWDS. Who even knows what causes it. But there is verifiable evidence of physical differences....

For the same reason we stutter worse when under stress. Or the same reason people with something like aphasia or Tourettes can experience their worst symptoms when under anxiety. It doesn't mean it's ...

All good points. So what are you suggesting? Maybe early-onset stuttering is caused by a difference in brain structure, but mediated by emotions? So, like, everyone is less fluent when under stress, b...

If it's not psychological, how come most stutters are completely fluent when they're alone despite not being able to get a single word out when alone? If it was neurological, it wouldn't flip on and o...

> it means that it's not physical, but only in your head That's not what this means. If there was one misconception of stuttering I could nuke from wide orbit, it'd be this one right here, lol. ...

Who are these many others? I know around 1000 of stutterers due to being a member of McGuire and attending their courses and only a small minority had a psychological stutter. One exposure course was ...

> Some stutters are psychological, like I said I'm fluent alone, and stutter more in certain circumstances. That is a psychological problem That in no way proves a stutter is only psychological in...

Wow! That's really impressive that you found out those things through experiments. I'd advise against hating your stutter. If you do that, then it might get aggravated and affect your self esteem. ...

i hated my stutter so much that i did psychology as an extra degree in college and i specifically took as many classes related to stuttering as possible to have a better understanding of stuttering an...

To piggyback off this: cochlear implants completely destroy your natural hearing during the implant process. This is why they are typically only given to people with severe to profound hearing loss....

Not much I can do treatment wise, I’m looking into nootropics and other supplements to stimulate that part of the brain. I’m looking into doing the same rehab stroke and tbi patients go through. The...

Scar comes from a lesion or injury in the brain, at some point in my life I had one of these lesions from a brain injury I never knew about. I did some research and learned I may have been abused as a...

A "scar"? This seems like a lay term for something. A malformation? Or is it the result of an acquired brain injury? Do you have a history of brain injury (eg, stroke, tbi)?...

I'd wager neuropsych. The brain is one of the most complex things we have, and psychology comes from neurology. The mind and the brain are one, at least most clinicians would agree they are- so when i...
