Yeah thanks for bringing this up. I definitely have been having similar thoughts, but I have no clue how it would work. How do you define severe? It’s so subjective… But it can be really frustrating t...

I feel like there needs to be a "Sister-sub " for severe stuttering.

I feel like there needs to be a "Sister-sub " for severe stuttering. Some people have literally 2 second long repetitions, while others have over 30 second blocks. Those are 2 completely different w...

I’m not an expert—I’ve just talked about stuttering with some speech pathologists as a person who stutters. Stuttering severity is generally determined by percentage of syllables stuttered on, 3-4% be...

There is 'stuttering severity' scale which measures the percentage of syllables stuttered if you want an objective measure of outward stuttering. However it doesn't take into account a lot of other ...

I don’t know an actual metric for this. However, I personally consider a stutter that can’t be ‘hidden’ to be severe. Like if its obvious to most people that you stutter then I consider it severe. I t...

I disagree. You are forgetting that some of us quite literally CANNOT speak. As a severe stutterer, I consider mine severe because I block on at least 75% of the words I say and each block lasts betwe...
