Stutterers, what do you think of Steve Harvey ‘curing’ stuttering? I will say that I see he had good intentions, but it isn’t as simple as he makes it seem. No, stuttering isn’t going to cure in three days or overnight, especially if you’re older. It takes time, patience and dedication for stuttering to lessen, but not curing. I swear, ever since he said that, the stuttering community has been more misunderstood than ever. People REFUSE to believe that this is a real MEDICAL disorder, not some psychological thing, which it isn’t. So in my opinion, his intentions were good, but he was still wrong.
