I made a post about it at the time because I was pretty angry at the time, but I got - I should do repetition exercises to stop stuttering (it's a neurological disorder, that's not going to work) - I ...

That's fair. I think we're so low on the research totem pole because there are more important things that need to be researched first, which I think is fair. Also the lack of researchers as a whole is...

The problem with stuttering is that the information on it so scarce and contradictory. I found an article that said they found 50 stuttering genes that get passed down. Then I found another article th...

Interesting! I haven't heard that percentage before. Even on this sub I haven't seen anyone say their stutter got passed down to their kids. That said though, almost every child goes through some stu...

I read its like 60% if your parents stutter. I mean there is still 40% chance it wont. Also even if the child gets a stutter it doesn't have to be severe even if the parent has a severe one. I will pe...

I think I've read that stutter can possibly be caused by genetics, but this isn't the case for more people. Chances are it won't be the case for your future kids as well. I have a son and he doesn't ...

My dad, maternal uncle and cousin all stutter. So interesting...

The men on my dads side stutter so I’d say to some degree it is...

My husband stutters none of our 3 children do and neither do our 6 grandchildren. My hubbys parents and grandparents didn't stutter ,neither do his siblings or cousins....

My understanding is that the PREDISPOSITION to stuttering is genetic, and environmental factors are what may or may not trigger it....

There's strong evidence that it's very much genetically-driven. I'm the sole stutterer in my family + extended family too. It just means that the combination of genes that happened to manifest in st...

My father had Tourette’s and I stutter. You can’t convince me there is not some sort of connection there....

Reading out loud on my own always helps me mentally, because when I do so I don’t stammer at all, so it gives me a breeze of fresh air to hear myself talk fluently. It also helps me recognize I do hav...

If one of the parents stutters the chance is over 60%. If none of the parents stutter, its 0.8%....
