>What I can't reconcile is: if stutterers have some fundamental brain 'miswiring', how does that miswiring magically go away when they speak while alone? This is why I've always felt like this is a *solvable* neurological problem at its root, at least for most people - if we can achieve fluency when alone, when singing, or when speaking in unison with a group, as is often the case, then that proves the *potential* is there to be fluent all the time. We just have to unlock it somehow. For me, knowing that potential is there arguably makes the whole ordeal more frustrating - knowing it's there but not being able to grasp it.
