Children have no Default Mode Network (DMN) associated with self-referential thought in the early years of their lives. It develops with age. And so the Lidcombe program works for as long as the DMN i...

In your opinion, How can operant methods (such as Lidcombe stutter program) be improved? My reply generally would be Lidcombe has excellent outcomes in young children but it becomes gradually less effective with age - so bad outcomes after age 12

Yes I do. Many people have been cured. Obviously many people have not, but many have. There seems to be a sentiment in this reddit community that stuttering cannot be cured and we just have to acc...

How Can I Explain That I'm a Covert Stutterer Without People Getting Suspicious?

How Can I Explain That I'm a Covert Stutterer Without People Getting Suspicious? I’m a covert stutterer. I’ve learned to mask it to the point where others don’t notice most of the time. But there is...

Important post: Just a heads up.

Important post: Just a heads up. Hi everyone, I didn't want to have to make this post but some people on this subreddit have left me no choice. Some people have resorted to spreading lies or just st...

I got to about half of them, some I can relate to but others seem like it's from a non stutteter that's missing what we know from inside that isn't shown outside.  But though I thought the one above w...

Calling Out a Stutter-Denialist

Calling Out a Stutter-Denialist I recently dealt with someone who denied my stutter was real. He asked me to talk until I stuttered. I did, and he accused me of faking it. I pointed to his glasses an...

If you google something about DID global rates you see something like 1.5% as well. DID is incredibly rare and there needs to be more measures in place for people to stop abusing disorders...

There are three sub-classifications- Developmental Stutter, Neurogenic Stutter, and Psychogenic Stutter....

That's true. I feel like those sub-classifications can be a little vague though! For example, stuttering that is caused by brain damage and stuttering that is caused by genetic factors are often group...

A cure completely eliminates something. It is scientifically impossible to completely eliminate a stutter unless it is the result of a TEMPORARY brain abnormality like a seizure. or a stroke. Whatever...

You seem to have something to prove. I have nothing to prove to you. None of this has anything to do with the original post, nor my comment. However, a few things I noticed: 1. You don't even agr...

I actually lean towards your side of the argument on the grounds that these acceptance strategies are a bit bogus. A few steps removed from the real thing. And you cannot exactly tell yourself not to ...

You made a post about a daily group session for stutterers, and then you follow it up with this non-sense? What's your aim here? We deserve better than this demoralizing crap....

So you aren't even going to pretend that you're on an alt account now? Long term potentiation (LTP) is a mechanism for converting short term memories into long term memories and has nothing to do wit...

The reason for my comment is because i'm not coming from a place of helplessness. I'm coming from being emboldened by my investigation of the current literature on stuttering. We know so damn much abo...

What I'm saying is that acceptance is not good enough. I never said stuttering needs a solution. I said stuttering needs to be managed. And it will not be managed with hopes and dreams, nor acceptanc...

Do you believe that the person with tourettes will stop ticking with just acceptance? How about the person that has seizures? If they accept their seizures, will their seizures go away? No. So what'...

And where's the utility in acceptance of a neurological disorder that has underlying causes that don't care whether you accept it or not?...
