Hey, I'm in medical school in the U.S. I'm thinking about going into PM&R. My stuttering is mild/intermittent, but I've definitely stuttered while talking to patients, during rounds, and making co...

Different role made sense for me - I didn't stutter when I spoke English because when I spoke it I was something different.Then when I moved to USA for a year as an exchange student I started to stutt...

My nine year old has a pretty significant stutter in English yet very mild if any in French. He says it's because he has to think about each thought in French (since it's his second language) but does...

Speaking in another language can sometimes feel like taking on a different role, which can alleviate some or all of the stuttering. But it'll most likely end up being susceptible for stuttering eventu...

SLP here. I get asked this a lot. I don't know of any particular studies that correlate sleep and stuttering levels, but here's what I always say: Sleep is required for pretty much all basic and comp...

The science of stuttering isn't a done deal yet. Many factors seem to play in. There's also somewhat of a personal variance, I think, with regards to how stutterers perceive themselves and their imped...

Well, you still have to _perform_, so whether or not you want to call it "all mental", the end result is what matters - and if you stutter in performing, well, then that's where the stutter has shown ...

And what makes someone a scientist? Must you have a degree with the word 'science' in it? Or be a member of a fraternal society? Wouldn't it be someone using the scientific method? I can only imagine ...

if you identify as a stutterer, you should familiarize yourself with the science on the condition. there's no easy cure (the condition is varied and complex). if you don't identify, i can see why you...

>reverse it i don't know of any stuttering research that suggests something like that (*i hope some of the learned ones in here can chip in on this part if there is some*). but you might be workin...

I think the prevalence is stable worldwide, but i think its a better culture for understanding here. Society is very focus around "integrating everyone" so people is very aware about the common dissab...

> I hate that fact that speech pathologists and researchers don't understand what stuttering is Some don't have much of a grasp on it, but it really depends on the clinician. I think that some SLP...

yes, this is about you - for the most part. it's not about you when you start generalizing outside of your own case. you're making a list about yourself, but for it to amount to something more solid,...

isn't the point here that there isn't just _one_ type of stutter, and _one_ type of solution? so we have to try out a bunch of stuff and see if it works......

i don't think that distinction is correct though, "non-genetically caused vs. genetically caused". as far as i'm aware, stuttering hasn't been shown to reduce to simple causes....

I agree with this message but I don't think stuttering can be labeled as a mental illness....

the only nongenetic stuttering I can think of is the result of a brain injury. Many people have latent stuttering genes and dont know it. So just because no one you know in your family stutters, doesn...

I fully agree with you, kind sir. Stuttering is a malignant disorder. We have the British equivalent of the NSA - called BSA. My only gripes is that the meetups take place in Scotland. I should ge...

Great article, great writing. I'm pretty torn about stuttering. On the one hand I can rationally see the value of acceptance. Of not ploughing so much energy into something that many believe has a ne...

>I don't think I can pray it away. of course you can't (and i'm sorry for being all nonreligious in your face, but one of the things that saddens me the most in this world is the thought of people...
