Stuttering is incredibly complex, like most neurological conditions. There is hope, some good work is being done. But... what research in other conditions have that stuttering research does not is ur...

Yeah I think its viewed as a cosmetic issue to some extent. Its interesting because there are certain drugs which are approved by the FDA for the treatment of tourettes and autism but this is mostly b...

Normality is a trap concept. Almost every single human being has something happen to them that is abnormal to the majority of the population. Not just diseases or conditions but situations and experie...

Can you please not say this kind of stuff? It’s already bad enough living with a misunderstood disorder, but this kind of misinformation will greatly harm the community anymore. It doesn’t take much ...

You really seem to have this harmful victim blaming mindset. I can assure you a majority of people have been bullied, laughed at, discriminated, teased, mocked, infantilized, and harassed because of ...

I largely agree with you that it's naive to think of stuttering as a physiological brain-based disorder only. At least in my case I got a lot of evidence its a systems issue comprising many parts, of ...

also omg, i'm the sameeee, Deaf in my left ear and becoming Deaf in my right ear i've always heard stories of the SLPs who stutter tending to be more helpful, but have never met one in person and i a...

you're abolutely right about SLP not being a field that has lots of pws. it's something that used to make me want to go the SLP route in college (but i favor audiology lol). thank you very much for yo...

This conversation has been mostly poisoned by the use of the word cure. Is there a simple cure for stuttering? No. Is there a set practice of exercises or speech therapy that can be used to attain flu...

"the problem with traditional therapy is they treat everyone the same when stuttering is super individual. if breathing exercises and reading aloud felt unnatural then yeah that wasnt the right approa...

I agree that being calm about it helps a lot but also, explain what it is when you can, people tend to misunderstand it for anxiety or some other sort of moral failing so be clear about the nature of ...

You’re comparing a human stuttering to a game lagging. You’re saying we can’t get mad at people for being angry when we stutter because we get mad at games when they lag. They aren’t remotely the same...

I understand your intentions are well-meaning, but the impact is what's called into question. It's so simple right? Sleep well, eat well, exercise weekly. Just, you know, be confident! "It's how you...

You're ignoring somebodys suffering by saying "just don't worry about it, nobody cares". Who are you to tell someone to not worry about what brings them suffering? What you're actually saying when yo...

No you’re 100% right!! Instead of just accepting it, we really should start fighting against it and letting it be known how much it really affects us day to day. Many small minded people don’t even un...

For starters i think we stutterers should speak out for our rights, there are too many of us who prefer living in fear of social judgement everyday, strictly blaming themselves for their speech and re...

Like it’s so easy, sarcastically saying. Stutters stick around- there isn’t a one size fits all cure. More people need to be aware about the effects of stuttering....

So I’m not here to scare you, but typically this does not happen sporadically or out of nowhere. Take some deep breaths and schedule an appointment with your doctor immediately. You could have a tumo...
