It is genetic (in most cases). But that doesn't mean your kids will have it. My mom stutters. I and twin brother stutter. My sister does not. My mom and her dad stutter. She has 4 siblings and none of...

in my case yeah. my great grandad had one, my grandad has one, my dad has one and i have one. luckily i’m not too fussed on having kids anyway but my stutter being genetic is one big reason...

My mother or father doesn’t have it. I’m the only one in the family, my great uncle stuttered when he was a child but sort of grew out of it...

There's definitely a genetic component. Genes have been identified (check out research from Dennis Drayna). But it doesn't follow a "typical Mendelian inheritance pattern". Meaning, in short, it's pos...

I think so, my father kinda has it as well but is very subtle, and isn't blocking like mine. Only someone who knows him well is able to tell he stutter tho, he can speak for hours without any sign....

There is a genetic component to it, but I'm the only person in my family who stutters. We believe it's due to stress in early childhood (which my brother suffered as well, but he speaks fine and I'm n...

I think it's been said to be genetic, but I'm the only person in my family who stutters so it isn't the only cause. I think that it's perhaps environmental factors, for example, if a toddler hears som...

My husband stutters and so did his grandma. Our son now stutters but daughter doesn’t. So yes genetic but not at all a guarantee...

Yeah, it's most of the case genetics (correct me if I'm wrong) Personally, it's a trauma, but I know that a lot of people stutter because one person in their family have it...

Yes, stuttering is genetic (in most cases). There’s a chance they might, but they also might not. I got my dad’s stutter, but it’s not a guaranteed thing....

there is a lot of potential money if someone finds a cure or treatment, I don't think that's the case. Governments aren't either investing in our cure. It may be more complicated than apparent, or not...

Yeah, but what about the genetics? There are three more stutterers in my close family other than myself, one of them being my father. Many more guys here often report the same stuff about their parent...

I came at peace with my stutter during one of my LSD trips. Since then, I literally do not care anymore that I stutter. And apparently noone in my surroundings really cares either. People value you fo...

Thank you, this is correct. I have always been completely fluent when reading, but cannot speak at all in social situations. Practice does not work for everyone....

>"The more you think of it the more you will do it. The more you try, the worse it gets. " Your statement supports what 80% of PWS say that outgrow stuttering eg "don't pay attention to stuttering...

I actually stutter more when I talk to myself, kind of like I’m getting it all out of my system for when I talk to other people. Also rarely stutter while reading aloud....

I go backpacking and take a decent dose of shrooms like 2-3 times a year to sort of break that pathway. It feels like a sort of “mental reset.”...

Yeah I had a classmate in high school who stuttered noticeably but were very extrovert, witty and cute. I fell in love with him which was probably what triggered my stutter 😂 The teenager romance did...

Hi, Maybe I wasn’t clear about that point. I was born with minor hearing loss and was given hearing aids when doctors noticed this. The hearing aids were implanted in my ears and fell out when I was ...

I doubt you started to stutter because of hearing loss, for me at least it makes no sense. it's most likely genetic and you would have started to stutter either way, same with your sister....
