Mine seemed to be anxiety induced. I developed a severe stuttering problem in first grade…I think it was gone by some point in 2nd grade. There was some “math class trauma” in first grade that seemed ...

You seem to have something to prove. I have nothing to prove to you. None of this has anything to do with the original post, nor my comment. However, a few things I noticed: 1. You don't even agr...

I actually lean towards your side of the argument on the grounds that these acceptance strategies are a bit bogus. A few steps removed from the real thing. And you cannot exactly tell yourself not to ...

So you aren't even going to pretend that you're on an alt account now? Long term potentiation (LTP) is a mechanism for converting short term memories into long term memories and has nothing to do wit...

Emboldened by simply the sheer size of research and number of observed differences between PWS and the fluent? I'd rather bet overwhelmed and barely understanding of the pursuit you propose. Does you...

The reason for my comment is because i'm not coming from a place of helplessness. I'm coming from being emboldened by my investigation of the current literature on stuttering. We know so damn much abo...

Do you believe that the person with tourettes will stop ticking with just acceptance? How about the person that has seizures? If they accept their seizures, will their seizures go away? No. So what'...

And where's the utility in acceptance of a neurological disorder that has underlying causes that don't care whether you accept it or not?...

I could write an essay on what I propose. Basically, stuttering should be managed just like any other neurological disorder is managed. There are clear mechanisms in the brain associated with stutteri...

This is non-sense. Let's tell the person with tourettes to just "Accept" that they are going to tick and say random shit in front of people. Let's tell the epilepsy person to just accept that theyre g...

Error in reasoning. Stuttering often increases in the presence of psychological stress, but this does not mean that stress, or the psychology of the person who stutters, is the cause of stuttering. Th...

Right, that was always my understanding. Some individuals are neurologically/anatomically predisposed, and then some other conditions are eventually met to trigger stuttering, which is then reinforced...

Yeah you're right, it has physiological/neurological roots, but the interaction of these biological factors with psychological/social ones makes it the disorder it is...

Current scientific consensus is that it's hereditary (genetic), causing neurological differences in stutterers' brains. Although there is still much that's not understood about it. Stress and other fa...

It’s a mixture of neurological and psychological. In some people it can be genetic. The factors that lean into each of these categories are different for each and every person who stutters which is wh...

Root Cause of stuttering

Root Cause of stuttering What's the root cause of stuttering?? When I read, I speak fluently Then when I talk stuck in every first letter Feels like sound stuck in Vocal cord it isn't coming out. Do...

You're spot on. Brocas area is the speech hub of the brain, and its malfunction is related to stuttering. But there's much more involved....

I've read the research. I can say with confidence that there isn't an inherent problem with us psychologically. There are certain mechanisms in the brain that are associated with stuttering, just li...

It depends on the type of stuttering, or whether it is due to another disorder, but no, many studies point more towards a neurological cause, with differences in Broca's area, dopamine, processing of ...

I think it's genetic leading to neurological, but doesn't always manifest without a trigger. I think it was always within me, but triggered by childhood trauma. If not for that, something else might w...
