Hi! Speech Language Pathologist here. Stuttering can absolutely be genetic, and it's more likely to occur in men/boys than women/girls, so I'm not surprised that you have a brother who stutters! Stut...

I’ve made it a habit to see a speech therapist every 5 years or so as an adult (40F) to refresh and pick up new techniques. I also have a job where I talk a lot to new people and it’s helped me a lot....

Yep of course just speak even when you stutter go and give speech in school ceremonies even when you stutter constantly speak, 2 years ago I couldnt even say my name properly now man I am not gonna li...

I was lucky to do speech therapy in elementary and middle school and we did sooooo much metronome work and fake phone calls and reading to each other out loud etc. Really helped me and thinking back i...

Hi OP. drive thrus - especially when they are busy or seem annoyed already - yiiiiikes. I (40F) was so excited about online ordering apps when they appeared because I used to dread calling a busy rest...

Yes. This sucks! But here is something that has helped me ( also pointed by a few others in the comments ): \- Have a script prepared: I noticed that my anxiety doubles when I have to think of what I...

I understand what you're saying, but everything you're mentioning goes through a chemical process. What you're saying about being able to speak more fluently when you're alone is because at those time...

My goal is to speak fluently like a person who does not stutter. I already said that language exercises can be good for knowing how to breathe, modulate the voice, the volume, but that has nothing to ...

Sorry that sucks. I understand. I can’t say names or one word responses straight out too so I use a filler word or I try taking a deep breath before saying the word. Maybe that’ll help. Like if someon...

This sentence doesn't really suit me. I can speak quite slowly and still somewhat stutter. I have to be much slower than average to be completely fluent. People quickly understand that my speech rate ...

Same, as with all basic advice like "take your time, breathe, slow down". The intention is good, but the execution is awful...

i’m 20 so we’re about the same age. you say you “don’t have a heavy stutter” which tells me you’ve still been able to live a relatively normal life. get out there and get some real world experience l...

That’s great. My daughter can yell her words fluently. I don’t have any tips, but I’m glad you found fluency pathway for you and sending positive vibes you can build on it....

The only realistic suggestion I have is **good** therapy. You need a systematic way to work through both of these issues. The hard part is finding good therapy. But overall you will want to work on ...

>Her acceptance is she will always have a stutter and everything that comes with it per her journal.  This is acknowledgement rather than acceptance. But your frustrations are totally justified as m...

You're confusing the word "treated" for a cure. Youre right, it can absolutely be managed/treated. How is Parkinsons disease managed? How is schizophrenia managed? How is epilepsy treated? You know th...

Focus on the things you have control over, and try not to focus so much on the things you have no control over. You have a stutter. Sure, you can go to speech therapy and learn techniques to help yo...

It’s the build up dread that’s painful. Each time thinking about what you’re gonna say, slowly getting closer and thinking how you’ll be judged. Don’t feel bad, you made it and got through. Remember ...

Keep talking, don't let it bother you. relax and just go with the flo. 99.99% of people don't care you stutter. also use it when you call customer support lines, they bend over backwards to help you....

I made it easier for myself when I started getting my body stronger and reading more. You have time to improve...
