I've formed my opinions through my own personal experience as a stutterer & from my interactions with others who stutter. Obviously your experience has been different from mine as you've met peop...

>In my experience at least, I've never met a stutterer that didn't have ANY degree of control over it. The common notion is that we all have our bad days & our good days. Almost everyone I've e...

In my experience at least, I've never met a stutterer that didn't have ANY degree of control over it. The common notion is that we all have our bad days & our good days. Almost everyone I've encou...

Why? For many people it is and impacts their lives daily. Both the U.K and the U.S classify a stutter as a disability if severe enough. ...

Regarding the label "disability": In my language, stutter is literally deemed a "_speech handicap_" (there are others, but stutter is one of them). I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It's...

I don't believe that we have disabilities, but if we don't, what do we have? A mental disorder? A disease?...

Stuttering is a very personal experience. I for example do consider my stuttering a disability. It affects my ability to socialize and to do my work. But I have a severe stutter and also moderate soci...

While I think the authors intentions were without a doubt good, I can't help but think that we're not doing ourselves any favors by writing articles in the "Disability" column of 'The New York Times'....

I only know of one researcher looking at pharmacological interventions of stuttering. I don't think there will ever be a drug FDA approved for the treatment of stuttering. The sheer cost of the clinic...

Thank you for the response! I guess when I said "medical research" I really meant more like pharmaceutical research and medications like Pagoclone. I do not mean to sound harsh but I cannot begin ...

For those whose stutter is caused predominantly by low or under-developed motor abilities to produce speech and not so much by psychological factors, the current state of speech therapy is a great sta...

Most people never fully get rid of their stutter. Techniques may help, but the stutter usually doesn't just go away. Heck, even some of the best speech therapists stutter....

I don't think you understand what i'm saying. I'm merely saying to keep an open mind. Keep the dialogue open and contribute to the discussion--that's why i asked for your opinion-- is putting more t...

I think you don't understand what I'm saying. I'm not saying her points are without merit. Only that I don't believe they are universal which might be implied in the video. I also put forth somethin...

I don't believe stuttering is purely psychological as this video states. It definitely has a psychological component to it but to attribute the entirety of stuttering to psychological disagrees with m...

I *don't fucking care* about the research, for fuck's sake. I don't care. If you say it again in 10 minutes, guess what? I'll still be void of a fuck to donate to your cause. Not sure how many ways I ...

Can I enjoy my lunch? Watch the VIDEO. The first 5 seconds she says I'll be talking about the CONCEPT OF SPEECH BLOCKS. Again, you get hung up on some errors in wording and titles then go on a cir...

Such a sad way of viewing life leave it all up the men in the white coats. If people actually put their heads to critically think and experiment and observe for themselves I'm sure we all would be abl...

>"Stuttering ***EXPLAINED***" > "I will go one step further and try to explain.... to explore further behind the scenes, like what is ***causing*** a speech block... [crap about OCD]" No, this...
