Stuttering is part of who we are. There's no cure. It's something we learn to live with and accept. You can improve, but it's not the same as erasing it. Acceptance brings more peace than a non-existe...

It's not for life, the brain's neuroplasticity can do many incredible things. I can talk to myself without stuttering, why is that? If stuttering was something fixed and immutable, I would stutter eve...

This is a bone of contention between me and my therapist. The approach to therapy is very different here as compared to the West. My therapist likes to use the word cured and it gets thrown around a l...

You’re seriously going to believe a random dude over specialized professionals who has been saying it’s neurological for years? With that logic, people with Tourrete’s have “learned” that behavior of...

Stuttering is an “umbrella” word for similar symptoms but different root causes. Some get significantly better with certain methods and some not. Don’t compare yourself to others, stuttering is a very...

I’m so happy to see someone post about this here since I have had this exact same conversation with people close to me, trying to educate them that their tips and tricks - which would work on a fluent...

I agree with you that trying to rename/rebrand this condition is not helpful; the English-speaking world knows this as stuttering or stammering. I disagree, however, with your complaints about therapy...

Why though? You're just invalidating all of the people who no longer stutter....

If trying to “help” means ACTUALLY putting other people down by dismissing other people experiences down and blaming us for a disorder out of our control and spreading misinformation, then I don’t wan...

No, you can’t. How am I pathetic for spreading ACTUAL facts?? We complain we want research done on us, but then literally block away that research being done on us because of imbeciles like you who ca...
