I think you're just talking about multiple things that people who stutter typically spend more time doing than the average person. Whether or not they're "better" at some of it than most depends on th...

Those things are fine to talk about, and I totally know what you mean, but the word "consciousness" was probably not the right choice....

>Maybe it wouldn’t be as difficult for a person who stutters to meditate since **the consciousness is so well developed**... That right there is conceptually unsound. Stutter doesn't make us "bett...

Nah, it’s different for everybody. Some people have stutters so bad that they can barely even speak. This guy has some fluency so it’s obviously a more mild stutter, but to say that this is his fault ...

I find it odd that anyone would need to make the distinction. Are they perhaps trying to distinguish that for the child, it is not yet determined if it's e.g. a developmental thing that can be address...

What do you guys think about the acronyms “AWS” for adult who stutters or “CWS” for child who stutters?

What do you guys think about the acronyms “AWS” for adult who stutters or “CWS” for child who stutters? I saw a discussion on Facebook about this and wanted your thoughts. I wasn’t sure i agreed with ...

I hardly think any of that is controversial. However, it's a bit too rigid in its construal. Basically, it's missing context(s), and as such, I don't feel like answering it generically....

Re #1 whether or not it’s a disability is on an individual by individual basis. To some people it is but to others it isn’t. There’s been a push to frame the stuttering disorder in terms of the world ...

On #2 familiarity makes the stutter easier to understand. Teaching is fine because the students can get used to it. I fight for it to be labeled a disability so the school will pay for speech therap...

I agree with the first\- like, stuttering is an impairment, but people are othered by it, isolated by it, so it is also a disability. Like, I use a wheelchair \- i'm not disabled until someone or some...

>I hesitate to call stuttering a disability, mostly because there are some people who have it much, much worse, but it certainly does put us at a disadvantage in life. Yeah, there are certainly pe...

Some controversial thoughts about stuttering

Some controversial thoughts about stuttering I've been stuttering \(moderate to severe, occasionally mild if I'm lucky\) for the past 20 years so here goes. I know I'm cutting against the grain with s...

SpeechEasy Review

SpeechEasy Review Hi All, Has anyone tried SpeechEasy or any experience with the product? Thx! *EDIT - Thank-you all for your responses! Greatly impacted my decision to move forward.*...

> So, it proves that stuttering is not a neurological problem in most cases. It definitely could be some other reason, which we could find for our own individual case. It so does not. The only thi...

But did you hear anyone say that stutter was defined as exclusively neurological, and that nobody ever stopped stuttering?...

My point is that stuttering isn't neurological in some cases, and some people have fixed their stutter. ...

Because they are desperate to believe they can pull their fluency up by their bootstraps. And normally I'd be fine with people believing whatever they need to as a nod to self-care, but I'm uncomforta...

One of my faults is that I’m idealistic and I don’t always explain myself fully. We live in a “headline” world. Many folks will ready your title and not read your description. That is their fault; how...

A big caveat \- be clear that you mean it will reduce stutter in your particular brain by 50% \- Claims like this are what can damage the field. I don't know your protocol but no one protocol ...

This question is implicitly trying to blame stuttering on the stutterer. It's not your fault that you have a stutter. Yes, you can work on it and find ways to cope, but your stutter is **not** a chara...
