It's a disability that's usually neurological. No one says that tourettes or cerebral palsey has a purpose. you're utterly delusional...

This is the dumbest psychoanalytic bullshit I have ever read about stuttering. That’s like saying dyslexia or ADHD are developed for the same reason. Miss me with all this bullshit and stop trying to ...

Yes, stutterers have some kind of misfiring in the brain, so they are as neurodivergent as ADHD or autistic people. I think the difference is their "difference" is much harder to ignore at the surfac...

Agreed! On the other hand, even being queer or neurodivergent (for example ADHD and bipolar) started to be normalized but the stuttering remains and probably will remain in weird side alongside with m...

Thank you so much for your sources and input! I highly appreciate it! I definitely agree that my method to alleviate my stutter isn’t very helpful anymore and I’d like to figure out how to un-conditio...

This YT video explains secondary behaviors in stuttering: [part 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LftpTGx0xhs), and [part 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUgyXtdkW6E). I think that the traditional...

Saying “don’t anticipate the stutter” is like saying “don’t think about the night you were conceived”. It’s impossible to not connect imagery to words. Also - language is a human invention and the val...

So, you think being 'normal' would solve all your probems? If taking fluently is the only thing than can ensure a normal life, then why do fluent people still go through hardships? Why do fluent peop...

For future googlers— this is called a “word final disfluency” and it is a type of atypical disfluency and most commonly observed in children on the autism spectrum. ...

Because he is a person who stutters and hearing from someone else he should improve his speech implies he should be more fluent which implies there is a problem with stuttering, which in turn communic...

Stuttering can be a symptom of other disorders, but it's never an indication of them. Neurodivergence is a pretty new thing, and it seems to be an amalgamation of conditions that are very hard to diag...

I would have been diagnosed about 13 years ago under the ICD, and likely the writing on my record would have been under NICE guidances as I'm not in the US. The diagnosis was indeed HFA, and it was ou...

hmm, never heard of it being associated with ocd. always wondered if I had that due to my extreme connection with some objects...

It's not really true, it's just classified as autism spectrum disorder. high functioning autism isn't a clinical diagnosis (your doctor probably just wrote down autism or doesn't follow convention)...

I've also been looking into this recently and from what I've seen is that it is something that someone with autism can develop. I also did not want to accept the fact, if I do have it but I am undiagn...

> Well this caused the person to burst into laughter, and proceed to inform me I'm one of the most obvious autistic people they have ever met. This guy sounds highly unqualified to diagnose autism....

The others already said it but stutter isn't a symptom of autism, its just a comorbidity, you might misunderstand if you know a person who stutters superficially ( and if you don't know much about aut...

> but most people who stutter arent on the spectrum But then most people are not on the spectrum. And there is lots of undiagnosed autism. They can be separate things but autism can cause speech is...

I am the exact opposite I read people very well almost to well. Often times I just instantly get a read on a person and I'm usually correct not always I try and not to make assumptions to much. You ...

I have autistic and ADHD traits and am seeking formal diagnoses, and while these traits interact with speech difficulties in various ways, I don't think any cause any of the others. They are all condi...
