A friend of mine who stutters, is diagnosed for autism. He told me that he had to answer the question of the psychologist. The psychologist wanted to hear 2 stories of my friend. One of the stories wa...

Sigh, that is sad and very judgemental. Do these people actually know what Autism is though? A close family member has it and I've lived with them so I know the signs. It's a lot more than just bein...

Tendency may often have a genetic or neurological basis but does not justify (choosing) compulsion

Tendency may often have a genetic or neurological basis but does not justify (choosing) compulsion "Stuttering is neurological" and "It's genetic". We all have heard of these phrases to justify compul...

Make sure he understands you have a diagnosable stutter. It's a communication disorder and is not caused by fear. It's a neuro-motor communication issue. If he still doesn't understand or continues to...

Many years ago the so called speech experts believed stuttering was a mental disorder. That belief caused many stutterers to endure useless and harmful speech therapy and psychological therapy. Than...

As a speech-language pathologist and a stutterer: psychedelic drugs are not a recommended treatment for stuttering at this time. (If you do them for your own purposes, that's a you thing.) Stuttering ...

Your perspective is accurate. There’s nothing wrong with stuttering; I’m fact, it gives you a perspective that will make you an excellent therapist!...

Absolutely! Stutter therapies use the classic science models. The goal of this new research study about anticipation could encourage therapies to apply new ways of thinking. As all generations, it usu...

To be honest not really. I'm talking to people who stutter who offer a therapeutic approach to another person who stutters often at some exorbitant cost sprouting some rubbish like why we dont stutter...

Maybe the meme is not so clear!!. It relates to the only knowledge that some stuttering coaches have is the lived experience of their own stuttering. How does this qualify you to offer therapeutic sup...

It's just as toxic if not more to say hey there's something wrong with the way I/you talk, let's fix it....

Definitely keep changing your voice. It will decrease your stuttering drastically. Changing your voice is indeed a simple and wonderful fix. Stuttering is a neurological disorder where there is n...

Yes, statistically (research) shows that 80% of kids outgrow stuttering. So yes you can overcome stuttering. Remember, the trick is 'automatically' so not therapy. It's proven that it happens 'automat...

I semi-agree upon what you said because some positivities are just ignoring what PWS are really suffering from and lacking sympathies. But ventations are okay to some degree because it can release ne...

It seems to me lack of social interactions made your stuttering worse significantly. And I found out many people including PWS themselves are holding wrong perceptions of stuttering, because stutteri...

You are welcome. But like if you want to overcome waterphobia, the best way is to outright plunge into the water. I know it is a very hard step for you to make since you are holding negative opinions...

I think he is referring to the scientific research that 80% of kids remove stuttering (they outgrow it automatically). Of course after they remove stuttering, they still have the same neurological dis...

Where can I find more info about stuttering being mental?...

This really hasn't been my experience at all. Any SLP worth their salt (at least when it comes to stuttering/fluency treatment) is going to include some amount of desensitization (which I think your p...

Speech therapy used to help me for a couple of days after a session but after that it would get worse then it was before the session. The best thing that helped me was accepting myself as a stutterer...
