Yeah all good.. I was just explaining what I’ve read about the neurology around the stuttering brain. I’m sure there’s a lot of mechanics around speech motor control and synchronisation etc…. It’s fa...

I hope you didn't think my reply was to you. It was to the other person, I was defending you. I know the literature you are referring to well. Just an fyi, it ain't the full story.....

Your caution is warranted but you fundamentally don't know what you're talking about. Stuttering is not due to a lack of confidence, a developed pattern, nor is it due to deeper, psychological or beh...

When I was in Kindergarten, my teacher told my dad: "I prefer all of my students to be right-handed. My dad went to school and told my principal and my teacher: "Charles is left-handed and will remai...

In the past, left handedness was a "disorder" or a "retardation," and they forced left handed people to change. Now it's just normal. THAT'S WHAT WE WANT!...

Exactly! They treat this shit like they're trying to overcome being a people pleaser. Imagine if the left-handed community did this fuck shit! I would hate for people to tell my oldest brother that he...

Thank you for this post! I truly felt seen. For a so-called safe space, a lot of pseudoscience is peddled. The toxic positivity in this community is horrid! If someone's "positive" outlook is so fragi...

Do some more research on chronic disorders/disabilities. Stuttering is 100% not the only one where people to say to accept it....

Why is stuttering the only disorder/disability that people say to accept it? Would you say to someone who has ADHD not to take their meds and accept it?...

We should threat it no different than how ADHD is threated. No it's not in our heads or a personal failure. It's a neurological disorder. The difference is that ADHD has tons of medicines that can hel...

Anything you learn or anything you do to retrain your brain would be an example of the brain's capacity for neuroplasticity. Therefore, any kind of speech therapy would utilize it. I swear, at some...

100% agree. As a speech therapist, the amount of misinformation on here, and on the internet in general, is WILD. It perpetuates that fixing, curing, overcoming narrative which can be unrealistic an...

It genuinely baffles me how people are still spreading “cures” and misinformation around here

It genuinely baffles me how people are still spreading “cures” and misinformation around here And before you say stuff like: “I’m a 21 year old girl who’s in college and I know it’s all in the head �...

I said that stuttering can be seen as a variation of normal speech, up to a certain point. If it becomes too severe, it disrupts the natural flow of conversation, even when the listener is empathetic....

I do not think of it being low. I also mentioned in another post that there among the medical community that there is no "cure" for stuttering, and that is widely accepted. There is still research goi...

Your second point contradicts the first point. Think of stuttering as something that happens to you, rather than any sort of variation of your normal speech pattern....

Just because stutterers don’t stutter along doesn’t eliminate the fact that there is definitely a neurological component in it. Stuttering is a very inconsistent and fluctuating disorder, so of cours...

The way you say it is misleading. For one, which people are we talking about? Those who have a slight stutter or those that can be diagnosed with the disorder? Stuttering like many human behaviors is ...

I am not attacking anyone. I 100% agree with you that only way to find peace is to accept the cards we have been dealt in this life and do our best. But to do that we cant pretend those cards are not ...

You're the one attacking people by calling them delusional just because they're able to find peace in what they have been dealt. Life is not perfect, you don't have to be, so it's not that people "pre...
