My tone had more to do with the claim that deep breathing exercises can be helpful in curing stuttering or that stuttering can be controlled through rhythm control. There is no cure, regardless of breathing pattern and there isn't a perfect rhythmic pattern that won't get get old and see the stutter come back. If you're talking about neuroplasticity, I haven't heard of any studies which credibly show how using these techniques creates real change. This is the logic that those therapies argue, but the results just don't back them up. I do know people who have been very happy with their fluency shaping and are thankful they did it. I am happy for those people. But I find that it is a minority. And the other people I've spoken to who live full lives and don't let their stutters hold them back go the opposite route. And as far as preferring to sound like a robot over not being able to speak, that is a personal choice and that's perfectly ok. I'm glad it's helped you but I dont want to give the message that it's a cure to people who have tried the robot option but still can't say anything. Because then the only reasoning is it's their fault and that's just not the case.
