Here's one of the questions asked before the live AMA: >u/TallDarkness: > >"What's science current opinion about neuroplasticity regarding stuttering right now? Can it be a (partial) pos...

Actually it all comes down to my level of stress while speaking. If I speak german or french with a native, of course I'm going to be nervous, so I'm probably going to stutter more. But if I speak ita...

Absolutely, when I have to record my voice for an assignment my stutter goes from moderate disfluency which is where it usually stands for normal conversation, to beyond severe. It’s typically worse w...

I listen to lots of audiobooks and podcasts and can't say I notice a difference between the severity of my stutter on day when I do or don't listen to books. I will say that what does help me in regar...

This is why I never write scripts for presentations, if I don't try to genuinently come up with the words as I go I just cant seem to get a "flow" going, and I'll keep getting blocks....

I 100% understand what you mean. People tend to stutter less when talking alone, to small children or pets. Why is that? Possibly because we do not expect a response. We are not imparting meaning ...

Ah. I see we misunderstand each other. What you say is not against what I mean to say. I just happened to use a word that made you think of something else than what I was thinking about. Yes, we migh...

Yeah, I think that's a common thing. :) It's because you're not in "interaction" mode, as you would be with someone else around. Stutter is exactly a thing that happens in interaction mode (there's va...

even when my stutters in check, talking about something as sensitive as death is still hard....

Does make sense though, like a missing piece of the puzzle. True we can't say FOR SURE this is the main cause, but the more information we get could lead us closer to something. I'm going to dig deep ...

You make a great point. In almost every stuttering book I have read, or podcast. Something they always tell you to "cancel" out the word. Or substitute it with another word, and correct some words don...

I wrote my personal essay for college about my stutter, and now that I’ve been accepted, I figured you guys may want to read it too.

I wrote my personal essay for college about my stutter, and now that I’ve been accepted, I figured you guys may want to read it too. Have you ever thought about articulating the word "debacle", or con...

Stuttering affecting my future career.

Stuttering affecting my future career. Hello everyone! I am currently going to school to become a future health care practitioner. I am feeling like success is far away as I am finding it harder and h...

Exactly. The beginning of the sentence is really when you feel the most pressure, it's where you will feel the most judgement from the other person. They may think "why is he talking to me" "what does...

Thank you for the comment. I agree with you about resolving the root insted of the consequences of the problem. I stutter mostly when I speak in front of a group of people or when I speak with strang...

Negatively. Last semester there were less conversations during lessons, so I practiced speaking less and my stutter was getting worse. Now its better but I’m still struggling a bit And the worst part...

As a kid I stuttered the majority of my sentences, but as I grew into my later teens my stutter kinda turned the same way like yours. I would say the main solution if you could even call it that is ha...

I agree with this. When I speak German (a language I'm learning on the side during quarantine) my stutter is terrible, like I can barely even start sentences. I can actually read German much better th...

In my case is the exact opposite, I stutter way more in my native Spanish than in English, and I've seen this pattern many times of people stuttering more ir their native tongue than in other tongues....
