Practical, I’m trying to send you the most up to date research. It’s not mine but from an amazing Redditor. I’ll get it to you ASAP. all nodes are full right now. It’s a lot. You aren’t weaker than a...
The stuttering literature has been reporting since the 1930's that people who stutter are more fluent when they are alone. But there has been some variation in the fluency levels when alone - some st...
Then what happens when you stutter without any anticipatory fear? Without any social anxiety? It's almost like stuttering is something that happens to us involuntarily due to neurological things happe...
In my case I was simply born neurodivergent, the gamut of OCD, ASD, ADHD, and Tourette's (could also be a factor). Frankly my childhood was fine and fairly happy, though obviously those things brought...
Stuttering as a Non-Native Speaker – Need Advice
Stuttering as a Non-Native Speaker – Need Advice I’ve been dealing with a stuttering problem since I was 13 years old. It started suddenly without any trauma and has progressively gotten worse over ti...

I’m not looking for jobs because of my age 78f but I’m 100% fluent on the phone and even in person as long as the topic is stuttering! It’s as puzzling as your situation because we know it’s possible...
neurodivergent - neurological differences. Your brain probably thinks fast then you speak. Breathing and exercise and health supplements can calm the brain down. Your stutter is not the bad and probab...
“those pathological states only come up depending on what social or physical environment people are in” No. The pathological states in stuttering have been observed at rest, in adults and in children...
Great question. It’s a prosodic thing. When PWS are speaking alone, to pets, to babies, in unison with others, singing, faking an accent, in rhythm, in rhyme, prolonging vowels, etc., they are unknowi...
"what do you think caused the disruption in the first place?" You're asking a million dollar question. By doing so, you are conceding that impaired cerebral blood flow may be causative of stuttering. ...
Yes I'm not contradicting that; the reduced blood flow would maintain the stuttering due to dysfunction of the neurons obviously. But what do you think caused the disruption in the first place? In peo...
It's good that we don't need to rely on beliefs. Blood flow to the brain is essential for brain function. This is not new, nor debatable. Without the proper blood flow to the inferior frontal gyrus / ...
A big mistake I see made often on this sub is that a neurological explanation is used as something that happens before talking and that that would cause the stuttering. I believe it is the other way a...
What I am saying is that the biological / genetic causes for stuttering fall under one roof and allow us to be more objective about stuttering. There are some impressive studies on genetics of stutter...
I’ll propose an explanation for why this may be happening. In people who stutter, it’s been shown numerous times that there is reduced blood flow to brocas area, which is responsible for speech prod...

Absolutely. An example is the SCN2A gene that is strongly associated with epilepsy. It encodes sodium ion channels and mutations in this gene can lead to hyperexcitability. So this is why epilepsy is ...
Agreed! The genetic and neurological factors will never be the same as in non-stutterers - if we consider stuttering remission in adults who stutter. See for examples these research studies: \- How...
