I hate that fact that speech pathologists and researchers don't understand what stuttering is. It's like that line from Good Will Hunting "If I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I'll bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel." Every case is so unique. And the mental component is the most important. Why is it that a stutterer can be completely fluent alone but with another person they fall apart. That and ONLY that needs to be the focus in the therapy. Therapy needs to be less focused in clinics and moreos in the real world. I recently volunteered for a research study on stuttering. Im talking tests, interviews, an MRI on my brain. The tests were so damn flawed. I was given hundreds of words to look at it and rank them for how "difficult" they would be for me. They missed the part where it it ranges; i may stutter with another person, but i'll say it fine alone. How do use that type of data in any way without it resulting in some error
