Switching Left-handedness

Switching Left-handedness I remember growing up, I could not hold brooms and handle scissors well, my mum would shake her head at me. People outside when I was a teenager and now as an adult ask me a ...

I believe it’s a neurological condition that is highly sensitive to emotions. I think of it as having more than average trouble sequencing lips, tongue, vocal cords, and lungs for speech. So add st...

My dad stuttered, and so did I, but believe me I am happy to have been born...

My mother has a stutter and lisp. I have a stutter. I don’t blame her for it. Also, I think it’s made me stronger. Even if your kids don’t inherit your stutter, they will still suffer but for differen...

Nuh uh. I don't know the cause of my stutter : it happened after I got really sick COVID but also my dad stutters, but rather I don't want to pass on the obsessive compulsive disorder....

This is a very tough situation. My father has Tourette’s and I stutter, so there is an extremely strong chance that a child of mine would have some sort of neurological issue. I really don’t know ...
