For simplicity and clarity, I’ll adopt two terms: First of all “normal stuttering”– to refer to the occasional moments that everyone experiences where our planned words don’t or won’t come out at the ...

It's a battle within. Stuttering is a curse. Stuttering is a blessing some report. It's always held me back or the powers at be see it as a weakness and hold you back....

Any good ways to tackle a stammer/stutter on your own without a speech therapist?

Any good ways to tackle a stammer/stutter on your own without a speech therapist? A little context and history to my speech is that I have a pretty mild stammer and word block on certain sounds, it wa...

Don’t let it drag you down , we stutter it is natural for that to happen , Sometimes my speech could be on a roll everything is going fine and then i stutter soo bad in a simple interaction , and it...

I expect you'll get a lot of different answers to your question. I'm a proponent of seeking fluency. Finding a program that helps you increase your fluency. That's not what you're asking about, just ...

Hey, sorry to hear that. How would you describe your stutter when you're relaxed/not-stressed?...

Lots of people here seem to forget that even fluent people can stumble and trip over their words and have a short stutter on occasion. Not everything related to speech other people do is directed at u...

I can't really tell you how you deal with it because everyone stutters differently. All I can say is to observe your stuttering patterns, practice more and read more to perfect your pronunciation....

Thank you. I will check it out. Are you going to be a non-stutterer (might i say cured) one day? Are you now? Again, semantics, but if you appear fluent to others, then I would call that cured....

Thanks for taking the time to write this. I agree with some aspects and disagree with others. I also know every one is different and stuttering comes in many varieties, so what’s great for one might b...

Popularity is irrelevant. I was too caught up with my stutter to sometimes enjoy time with friends and family. Other times it was fine and firing on all cylinders socially. Ebbed and flowed. My regret...

Regarding that 80% rate compared to a different outcome as you get older : I teach young children and know that they all have times when, for all different reasons, they speak w dysfluency. Most do ...

I’m rated as moderate to severe on whatever that assessment that SLPs give is called. It does suck. It will suck every time you encounter “let’s go around the room and introduce yourself”. But what’...

Can you start stuttering as an adult? I have stuttered a teeny tiny bit before, like rarely getting caught on a word. But tonight, I became aware that I stutter a teeny bit, got super stressed and hav...

While I know this hasn’t worked for me, I can believe it’s worked for someone, especially since stutter is a symptom we don’t have an explanation for. Perhaps his stutter was caused by something diffe...

We believe what we see. Nobody in my family or extended family stutters, except me (that we know of). We know of 4-5 generations. In my case, therefore, it’s not genetic. Maybe a mental inclinatio...

It's possible, but even if it is genetic it could just be a random mutation. There have definitely been other royals in history who stuttered, but I don't know of any close relatives of George VI that...

King George VI live radio broadcast recording Here's a recording of one of King George VI's live Christmas broadcasts. He'd already been working with his speech therapist for over a decade, and as you...

There's no mention whatsoever of any of George VI's four brothers having a stutter, and certainly his father didn't. Edward VIII is always spoken of as being very different in personality from George ...

1% of the population stutters, so that’s a lot of people!...
