Could lifelong stuttering mimic autism?

Could lifelong stuttering mimic autism? I used to think all my issues with communication are related to stuttering. I'm also diagnosed with a bunch of anxieties (general, social ans health). I’m on...

Have you ever wondered whether caffeine is making your stutter and anxiety worse? It did for me and once I’ve cut caffeine out completely I’m a lot more fluent. Just a thought. 💭...

That's the wheel of life... You stutter because of your anxiety and you're anxious because of your stutter...

Hi, I know I’m 3 years late to the party. I was just diagnosed with TMD and I’ve had a stutter for almost 30 years, so I can relate. My jaw pain started suddenly and was confusing at first — I though...

Yes. I have the memory of a panic attack but not the actual panic attack. I feel a lot calmer. Not perfect but it has helped a huge amount. All the best buddy :)...

You haven't lived my friend. Stuttering + severe anxiety + bad breath is worse...

Bro yes :( every time I argue the person immediately mocks my stutter, winning immediately. And my stutter gets worse with high emotions, so I can barely talk at all....

Stuttering + Severe anxiety has to be the worse combo of all time

Stuttering + Severe anxiety has to be the worse combo of all time Just wanted to say that ...

Okay they laughed and snickering..which's suck and not nice ....what's that enjoy you put? Are you on their side or our side?...

22 year old who stutters

22 year old who stutters I’m 22 and have had a lifelong stutter. Mine’s mainly triggered by anxiety, though certain sounds can set it off too. The anxiety part feels like my brain associates specific ...

I am 42 year old female and have had a stutter my whole life. It's exhausting, but the best thing I did was start admitting it to people. My stutter has improved over the years drastically, but in the...

Yes. As someone who has been through this, it's hardest on us. And not to make things worse, but it's a reality the OP needs to know, it may get worse. He'll need as much love and comfort at home as h...

Stutter question: In your own words, how do we tune down (or train) the right amygdala’s sensitivity?

Stutter question: In your own words, how do we tune down (or train) the right amygdala’s sensitivity? Think of the amygdala not as a single “fear button” but as a salience / gating node that biases do...

🙃 Yes, I was diagnosed just a few months ago. It's definitely a bit of everything, burnout, PTSD, and not being heard, I think. I'm glad I started stuttering in one way because it was the wake-up cal...

Are you on the spectrum by chance? I am. Got diagnosed at 32 lol. I imagine stress was what caused mine. Or burnout. At the time there was a lot going on that makes it hard to pin point, but everythin...

Yes, I hit burnout, I believe. My ex was also an angry and tempermental person, so I could not get my words out before I was interrupted with his temper. I became anxious around him, and it only happe...

Great question! >*"In your mind, how do we tune down \[or train\] the right amygdala’s sensitivity?"* Thank you! I appreciate the question and the thoughtful read. Simply put, I argue this is not p...

Makes sense to me. When excited, dopamine levels increase in the brain. For stutterers who inherently have elevated dopamine baseline levels, this makes stuttering even worse due to overactivation of ...

To be honest I'm trying everything that I come through and makes sense to me. I'm fluent and pass as fluent 90% of the time, but the stutter bites my ass in situations like presentations, phone calls ...

Yeah that happens to me too. I try to slow down and channel that exitement into passion in my voice instead of speed – has been working pretty good for me...
