Stuttering shares many characteristics that are consistent with tic behavior, 1) they are both largely involuntary, 2) both can be anticipated by the person 3) both could be considered a difficulty in...

My daughter (who has Tourette's) has a complex vocal tic that very closely resembles a stutter. It includes many of the same characteristics of "true" stuttering, but isn't. In her case, talking slo...

Do you stutter in other languages?

Thank you. I also smashed a job interview last week. Stammered, but recovered. ...

I do this as well, especially when I am excited. I repeat the same first part, like "that-that-that-that's great!" Even if in my head I know I should be on to the next word I just get stuck on the fir...

Yeah, thats what stuttering can be like. In order to desperately maintain fluency, you substitute words or use circumlocution. Btw I have stutter since 15....

I once stuttered through a stuttering meetup and read the closing words at the end literally perfectly. The ability to look ahead visually just feels different from thinking ahead (my thoughts are typ...

I had one and I wore it for about two weeks. I didn't like the way the chipmunk voice in my ear sounded when I spoke. To be honest it made me stutter more because I was distracted by it. After I stopp...
