started stuttering after a car accident

started stuttering after a car accident So this past July, I got in a pretty gnarly car accident. I was rear ended by a utility van, and my car was completely wrecked. It's frankly quite amazing that ...

> repeating any word/sound/phrase more than 1-2 times is not typical at any age. The other thing that stuck out to me about your description of her stuttering is that she gets noticeably frustrated...

If you view this sub and read posts about “what do you hate the most about stuttering “ the number one response is “when people finish our sentences”. That to me is treating her like she’s got a men...

I see from other posts you have a speech therapist appointment lined up, that's good. One thing I'll say, I was your daughter's age when I started stuttering. I'm 33 now and still stutter. I didn't ge...

Hey! I have a mainly anxiety based stutter though I imagine there is a genetic component to it as well such as the lack of blood flow to the broca you mention. I stuttered as a kid and saw the schools...

Understandable, once you know its anxiety it's much easier to cope, there are many more tricks to help reduce anxiety out there than ones towards stuttering entirely. Also, don't underestimate how m...

Wow! This is a really good experiment, it means that it's not physical, but only in your head. I tried it and it's the same for me. My case is even stranger. Sometimes, when I speak to people that ar...
