So a block that literally prevents speech is just someone "speaking differently than others"? Do you think the inability to say your name is a variation of speech? Lets extend this even further. Is the movement in Parkinson's disease just a different way of moving? Absolutely not. The abnormal movement seen in Parkinson's disease is incredibly disabling and, importantly, neurologically grounded. Stuttering is the same. You may not want help, that's fine, you do you. However, not all stuttering is created equal. Just like Parkinson's disease, serious consequences to quality of life can occur from stuttering. Acknowledging this is imperative so people that truly need help, receive it, rather than being left behind.
