This is definitely the wrong question, but unfortunately shows we are on the wrong track regarding stuttering. Stuttering is analagous to bad vision and/or bad hearing. No one asks if bad vision and...

People don’t understand stuttering as they don’t get it. At most 1% of the population stutters. Used to be the only individual people knew who stuttered was Porky Pig....

Hi! Just wanted to tell you that stuttering is a real grown fluency disorder and is absolutely not your fault. No one has the right to tell you that and you have no reason to believe it, even if you t...

You did not decide to stutter, and your mother has no business being mad/upset at you. Please seek help/counsel from others who stutter at westutter.org , where you can learn that there’s nothing wron...

There are social studies that show that people who have speech disfluency, like stuttering, lisps or even broken speech (people who cannot speak a different language fluently) etc are viewed as uninte...

Personally, I don’t like it when anyone calls me a stutterer… I am a person with a stutter. So, I also don’t think I will be comfortable with being called a “serial killer.” “Person who kills a lot...

A couple of thoughts here. First, blocking is stuttering. Second, all of those conditions you describe- speaking alone, speaking to a child, singing, and changing things about the way you speak (such ...

Stuttering isn't a disease, there's nothing to cure. You're just like the rest of us. That's how stuttering is. It's individual but there's nothing special about your experiences....

Seconding this about the correlation of stuttering and OCD - and also ADHD! I’ve also had a stutter since early childhood, and was just diagnosed with ADHD last year (at 41 yrs old). Apparently there ...

I didn't know there was a study, that's really interesting, thanks for letting me know. I wonder if there is a genetic (?) link between stuttering and IQ, or whether it's more that having a stutter f...

There are studies and the research does show people who stutter have a higher than average IQ....

I wouldn't go as far as stating it's the opposite. Sounds like baselessly trying to lift yourself up to cope with the disfluency. Doing a study on stuttering and IQ would be really interesting but I d...
