No one in my immediate or extended family currently stutters. My father stopped stuttering at the age of 12....

It would be funny if you were my cousin. Same thing pretty much- stuttering runs in my paternal side with myself, 1 male cousin, 1 uncle (used to but got over it surprisingly) and grandfather. ...

Mine runs in the family on my Dad's side. So far, I have a cousin, myself, two uncles, and my grandpa all stutter on that side. ...

Lots of strong evidence for it. EVen though we havent found the exact gene or combination of genes I dont think that's reasonable enough doubt in the face of all other evidence. Plus every SLP I know ...

1. We are not freaks, and that's kind of a shitty thing to post here. When you put yourself down because of your stutter, you're putting all of us down, too. Please stop. 2. An estimated 1 in 100 adul...

Listening to my brother use "um" and "like" crutches, I now prefer my stutter to his quick 'cure'.

Listening to my brother use "um" and "like" crutches, I now prefer my stutter to his quick 'cure'. My stutter is hereditary. My brothers both stutter and my dad stuttered, his dad stuttered, so on and...

I don't agree with your last line. And I recommend you listen to that podcast I posted. I agree to parents shouldn't freak out about stuttering, but not because it triggers the stuttering. because it...

Great! Reading aloud helps me to this day. If I'm trying to calm myself down about it, or if I try to go the entire day without doing it, I'll read whatever I can see. Air freshener on the toilet? Sur...

Stuttering can be passed down. It runs in my family....

I have two kids. Neither of them stutter. As DP82 said they don't care and I also stutter less with them. The evidence that stuttering may be genetic is tenuous at best. From what I've read one may ...

I'm not sure if stuttering passes down, no one in my family stutters except for me...

I have had a stutter at least since I was 5 years old. Today I am 19 years old, and still have problems with my stutter. I don't have a problem reading when alone, but I do when reading to others. It ...

I sure as hell do. I even stutter while reading a book out loud by myself....
