I'm a speech pathologist and a person who stutters. First, his elementary speech therapist misinformed you. Stuttering is in no way related to IQ or being "smart." Also, early intervention is best. H...

Be brave, but get a job where you don’t have to talk too much in stuttering-inducing situations, especially public speaking. See an SLP with stuttering expertise, not for a cure, but to learn more, de...
