The research showed that stuttering is part of neurodiversity, so its the way our brains work, its like autism, ADHD, dyslexia or dyspraxia, you can find tools and techniques to lessen the symptoms or support you but ultimately, your brain will always work that way, the symptoms can vary a lot during a single lifetime and some people have it worse/better than others, when you look at it that way it makes so much sense. Also it reminds me that people who stutter have higher chances than most to have other neurodevelopmental disorders, most of my life i barely talked, i thought that my stutter was the only reason my life was shit but turns out i also have Autism, ADHD and an expressive communication issue, the stutter was like a screen for me, im not saying that every stutterer has other disorders but we should know that the chances are way higher in our community because when something goes wrong in the brain, it is very likely that other things will dysfunction too. Just near me my mom and a classmate who stutter have clear symtoms of ADHD (although no diagnosis), and it can negatively affect the stutter so its good to check these things
