The way I explain the reason is that I have a stuttering brain. When I am alone my brain does not activate the stuttering process because I am not in a stuttering environment. My brain goes into the s...

"The impact of our neurological condition results in our psychological issues surrounding our stutter." Couldn't have said it better myself I wouldn't go so far to say no audience = no threat. That's...

No, I understand just fine. Just because I accepted that I’ll have a neurological disorder for the rest of my life, doesn’t me I am sad all the time. In fact, I’m quiet and happy and peaceful person....

What you may have is the same that I have which is a stuttering brain. Even when I felt relaxed when I started to speak my vocal cords became tense causing my airflow to be interrupted or stopped resu...

I don’t even think that it’s that. Even when I’m perfectly relaxed, I still stutter a lot . I can sign fluently. But just not talk. I think that it might be a neurological thing? Isn’t stuttering a ph...

Its just what they tell people afflicted with conditions that have no real treatment options. Unfortunately research into this condition is lackluster and it may take many more decades before basic tr...

I’m so happy to see someone post about this here since I have had this exact same conversation with people close to me, trying to educate them that their tips and tricks - which would work on a fluent...

If you’re still blocking, then you aren’t cured since blocking counts as a stutter. I genuinely hate this victim-blaming mindset people tend to have. Just because you got ‘rid’ of it doesn’t mean othe...

It’s already bad enough that a huge misconception of stuttering is that it’s a mental issue and not a neurological disorder. Saying “It’s in our heads” is adding onto that misconception and also downp...

Could you cite these scientists, bc all the professionals I’ve seen say the exact opposite. The physical blocks are caused by unwanted valsalva maneuver in response to fear. Knowing that will go suc...

Why is it so shameful for something to “be in your head”? As society, we’ve made a lot of progress towards acceptance of mental health struggles, so let’s try to have some of that here. All the acad...

Do you think that it’s a neuro glitch? Everyone tells me to just speak slow and I. Am. Speaking. Really. Slow. But. It. Doesn’t really help ....

Michael Smerconish Interview

Michael Smerconish Interview Hey all, happy stuttering awareness month. Long time lurker on this sub and decided to make my first plunge because I'm a big fan of CNN's Michael Smerconish and I noticed...

Damn, I thought that it was just me. From what I read , some people have VERY strong neurological pathways to stutter! I’m almost certain that I am one of those people , and that is why I am unable to...

According to Bill Parry, stuttering is the result of a confusion between the brain; larynx and the Valsalva Mechanism . Parry says that the larynx is programmed for EFFORT closure instead of phonation...

If trying to “help” means ACTUALLY putting other people down by dismissing other people experiences down and blaming us for a disorder out of our control and spreading misinformation, then I don’t wan...

No, you can’t. How am I pathetic for spreading ACTUAL facts?? We complain we want research done on us, but then literally block away that research being done on us because of imbeciles like you who ca...

Are we writing in different languages or is it so hard to admit that you might have misspoke? First you say we said the same thing then when I point the thing I find issue with you say that I lost the...

Yeah all good.. I was just explaining what I’ve read about the neurology around the stuttering brain. I’m sure there’s a lot of mechanics around speech motor control and synchronisation etc…. It’s fa...

I hope you didn't think my reply was to you. It was to the other person, I was defending you. I know the literature you are referring to well. Just an fyi, it ain't the full story.....
