Stuttering is a neurological problem where there is a disruption between the brain and the speech mechanism. In many ways stuttering is similar to bad vision and bad hearing in that all are physical...

I have heard this is common but I don’t. I also have heard it is common to develop a secondary speech disorder with stuttering. For example, I have Tourette’s in the form of motor ticks....

What does everything about this website? **A blog that I found with many unique takes on stuttering.** [https://understandingdysfluency.com/](https://understandingdysfluency.com/) ​ His ...

Hi, i believe the problem of stutter is more complex than we think. Its intermingled/intertangled together and consist of physiological response, belief, perception, emotions, intentions, behavior, et...

This is the exact thesis of a book I'm reading about stuttering and it makes complete sense (to me). It's the only thing I've read on stuttering that I relate to....

>except for the last part. Sorry about that. I clarified in other comments that I was being facetious using the term "mentally disabled" given the context of people thinking us inferior. However, ...

A lot of times people associate stuttering with anxiety/nervousness (when I'm not) for me, so I just say speech impediment or disorder....

I personally say speech disability, even when I know I'd be able to say stutter. It's just the most fitting for me, especially because I feel like the social preconception of a stutter is "that speech...

I was being more or less facetious because technically we have a disability that stems from our brains…therefore “mental disability”. I know we are smarter than all the commoners lol...

My 10 year old daughter has a severe stutter. My son doesn’t. There are no other people that stutter in our family. She was in speech therapy from 4 to 8 and we achieved almost 100% fluency but relaps...

I stutter and I am grad school for my masters in SLP. We need more of us :)...

Knock off that shame stuff. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF. It's a disability. It sounds like you're really struggling with it. Find a therapist to talk to. I'm not suggesting a speech therapist....

There are many SLPs who stutter. The ones I know are trying to change and educate the profession to treat stuttering the best way possible since most of them have had negative experience. Be the ch...

Thanks man I appreciate it! I really thinking just having an online stuttering community is great and all, but put all types of stuttering under the umbrella term of "stuttering" is extremely stupid, ...
