Sure, there's typically much effort spent in stuttering. But I don't see how we can make it all about something we shouldn't be doing. Or at least, I think that's missing the point. We can address our...

I don't think it makes sense to try and separate these things, especially not if it's going to end up seeming like a blame put upon the stutterer (which is why I wrote the above)....

>Its our own attempt to avoid stuttering that makes everything worse I'd urge you to not think like that. It makes it seem like something's our fault. But it's not our fault. It's stuttering. It's...

Yes, that's one among many differences between the brains of people who stutter and people who do not. The jury is still out on what in the brain is causing stuttering. It's too early to hone in on on...

We don't know what exactly causes stutter. But we do know one thing about it: _It's not your fault_. What you describe sounds like you think it's something you're doing to yourself. It's not. It may f...

Yes it's commoner in men than in women. Consciousness arises from the physical and chemical architecture of the brain, so the distinction between "physical" and "psychological" causes is not necessa...

Ah, I see your angle... myself, I'd just be thinking in terms of stutter awareness instead. I mean, when even grown people can react with ridicule to this sort of thing, we're definitely lacking in t...

I find acknowledgement of one's disability often disarms and diffuses a lot of situations and comfortableness. I had a teacher in high school with Tourette syndrome and on Day 1 of class he explained ...

It's kind of a disability but the problem is that every stammerer is different to some extent. Some are less stammer and some are not. Unlike other disability e.g, blind. You can say he/she a disable ...

Talking to yourself out loud isn't communication. It's a stressfree activity that doesn't hit your stuttering treshold. For example I'm a severe stutterer when talking to people yet completely stutter...

I hate how little awareness stuttering has. How is it that us as humans have landed on the moon, sent probes to mars, but can't figure out what causes stuttering? Why is that stuttering just generally...
