Most stutterers can speak perfectly fine when they are by themselves, so there isn't anything wrong with the speech mechanics. But it's also not purely emotional as in if we would just relax we wouldn...

Okaaaaaay we gon' do dis: The cause of stuttering is unknown. There is a school of thought that it is genetic, as 30-65% of people with a stutter ALSO have a family member with a stutter. But is stut...

purely physical as in a effect only affected by things that are not your brain? No of course not. Speech is formed in the brain and stuttering likely starts here...

I need your thoughts on this...

I need your thoughts on this... With so many people on this reddit, I want to pose this question to you all: Do you feel that stuttering is purely physical? Would like to hear all your thoughts on...

It's common for stutter to vary. If you suspect something neurological, you _really_ have to go see a doctor. Otherwise, you could visit a speech therapist, and see if you can get some help managing...

I'm glad to have a name for it. My grandmother had a mini stroke just last year but no one knew until my aunt took her to the doctor, but I don't think I've had one as my speech pattern hasn't changed...

I'm sorry to hear about your change. It certainly is no joke. It is possible, though unlikely, that there is something serious causing your stuttering. I've never heard of someone having a stroke a...

I recently came across a study which looked at blood flow with people with stutter and people who do not. The results were people who stuttered have less blood flowing to their brain. Exercise may inc...

im not going into college just yet, finishing my last year of hs but i like learning about the brain and the way people think act etc.... Im actually taking a class this year at my hs. What kind of cl...

If you want to see how your brain behaves while speaking, a neurologist can order a brain scan, but it's going to cost you a lot. You will not find treatment....

The exercises only caused me to me to increase awareness. I became aware that stuttering wasn't the the problem, it was a symptom of incorrect muscle programming. I became to realize that stuttering w...

>There has to be a connection Not really. As far as I can recall, children can learn sign language before they learn to speak proper....

The summary of your post is that with a bit more effort we'll just "get over it". Easy as pie. No problem. Oh, right, [stuttering is largely](http://www.stutteringhelp.org/genetic-and-neurological-f...

I'm no neuroscientist, but if my limited knowledge serves me correctly, repetition builds new neuro pathways in the brain. Maybe that repetition is actually fixing the broken pathways in the brain tha...

The cause of stuttering isn't known. There is something haywire in our brains that doesn't allow us to talk. You can be the most anxious person on this planet and that isn't the reason why we stutter....

Do note that I'm using a whole bunch of may's up there. I'm also writing "compensation", not "secondary symptom". I'm not saying breathing is irrelevant (I remember doing some breathing exercises wit...

Oh.. Common with that blood flow thing. Do you know how many stutterers they have tested ? Do you have the data ? Do you how varying is the stutter with different people. Good days.. Bad days.. Are y...

No offence, but I have always been quite wary of stuff like this. You say no one knows why people stutter, but hasn't it been proved recently that people who stutter have restricted blood flow to part...

Nobody fucking knows. One time I was fluent and went crazy trying to figure it out. So I talked to some SLPs and they just shrugged and said "nobody knows."...

I have a minor deviated septum, but the major cause of my inability to breathe through my nose was turbinate hypertrophy. Nasal steroids and azelastine are life savers. Myofunctional therapy won't he...
