Yes I am dying inside when I get so proud of myself saying a sentence without stuttering just for me to repeat it again....

Outside of speech therapy classes, I only met one guy who stuttered at an anxiety support group a few years back. Here in Canada, I think it’s rare to meet someone with a stutter unless you go to cert...

It’s quite the margin but it doesn’t necessarily mean that the 1% is wrong. Statistics are often reported with a confidence interval and it’s good practice for this to be included in studies because t...

Thank you for your reply. Good points. If it's 1%, we're talking about 80 million people with persistent stuttering. If it's 0.2%, we're talking about 16 million people. It's quite the margin. What ...

Do I look like I'm backtracking? I elaborately interpreted two studies, whereas you mention two figures and link an entire paper the topic of which is 21st century advances (not even what is here in q...

Is it possible they may have framed it as 1% to ease interpretability? - This is key component of scientific writing. Using benchmarks etc to communicate a rather nuance topic to the general populatio...

I have seen this "complaint" come up alot but somehow through my life I have never been too far off from another stutterrer. Met a few at school, work and general day to day....

The stuttering prevalence ranges from 0.33% all the way up to 5.6%. Do I think it's either of those two extremes? No. Then if we are talking about incidence (the number of new cases) then the number...

I'm 61, stuttered my entire life, never met anyone else with a stutter, that's how rare it is....

I call complete BS on the 1% number, too, for various reasons. Just imagine if 1% of people actually stuttered. Then stuttering would be commonplace and not a big deal at all. Reality is that stutte...

What I mean is that stutterers are definitely not 1% even if we consider the fact that majority of us try to hide it....

32F here, I briefly thought back and came up with 9 people. Three of them maybe don't count because they're not random/natural encounters (my uncle, a speech therapist I had in high school, and anothe...

1% of the population, worldwide, is what the research shows. In fact, that's the more than the prevalence of schizophrenia, and the same as the prevalence of epilepsy....

If 1% of the total population is the expected value, the range of likely outcomes for the number of stutterers you meet out of 1000 people is approx. 4-16. Meeting (3 or fewer) or (17 or more) stutte...

Well it is 1% of population not 1% of people you meet. Also most people hide their stutter by simply not talking, most disabilities are viewable before contact, people usually dont know you stutter un...

lol I never seen a person in real life with stuttering maybe just one...

Definitely overblown but with that being said most of us try to hide our stutter ,So we never know who is in fact a stutterer or not....

Every time I see a thread like this in this sub it can’t just be me who sees all the positive comments and gets slightly annoyed. There’s so many factors involved in dating including your stutter. A...

21f currently with my boyfriend of two years. My stutter has gone through its stages of mild to somewhat severe (not one sentence goes by without some block) it just depends on how stressed I am. He's...

As with anything related to stuttering, it's unlikely to be something that works for most of us, if not any of us. There's no single root cause....
