To EVERYONE reading this post. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO CURE FOR STUTTERING! Be EXTREMELY WEARY of claims by people staing they have CURED their stuttering. As a 48 year old man that severly stutters who wishes for the day that there is a cure for the stutter. I know as with all of you who are here for support there are support groups out there. Here are some support groups that offers a tonne of information on stuttering. The National Stuttering Association (NSA) (https://www.westutter.org) The International Stttering Association (https://www.isastutter.org) Canadian Stuttering Association (https://stutter.ca) British Stammerimng Association (https://stamma.org) Irish Stammering Association (Ireland) (https://www.stammeringireland.ie/) These are some support groups from around the world. There are more groups out there. There maybe some in your own country as well. Do a Google search of the country you live in, and more than likely there will be support groups. But to come on here and post that "YOU HAVE FOUND THE CURE FOR STUTTERING", is an outright lie and not being supportive for all the people who stutter. Just to let you know The National Stuttering Association is having their yearly conference this year in Denver, Colorado USA from 2 July 2025 to 6 July 2025. Here is the direct web link about the conference, https://www.westutter.org/conference. I have been attending The National Stuttering Association's Conference every year since 1990. For me it is a massive family reunion. I still remember my very first time attending in 1990. At the NSA conference, you meet all the experts in the field of stuttering; the medical doctors, SLP's, researchers. Learn the latest info in regards to FINDING A CURE to stuttering. That is all well and good, but the thing I love about the yearly conference is seeing my stuttering family, and meeting new members of my stuttering family. Every year I go, it is extremely emotional for me. All I ask to those who are fellow PWS (People Who Stutter) who come onto this subreddit and post that they have "FOUND A CURE" for stuttering, when there is currently no cure YET, are really doing harm to those who are struggling with their own stuttering acceptance. Giving FALSE HOPE, is not the way to do it. I have know many PWS who have comitted suicide becase they stutter.
