Ok fair enough. Like I said before it's likely GABA system related. GABA is the break mechanism in the CNS. However, someone who stutters should not think something needs to be fixed. DON'T EVER f with the GABA system. Our society labels stammering and stuttering as something is wrong. Not at all the case! We who have dealt with this build it up to much in our mind and makes it worse. Case in point, I knew a guy with tourette syndrome who was dropping f bombs right and left, but he was smart and kind and no one gave a damn after they 'got it,' Look it's scary and sucks, but we think it's a way bigger deal than others do.
