Popping in here as a speech therapist to lend my two cents: you were misled about adult therapy. Fluency therapy isn’t like language therapy—there’s no developmental window we’re hoping to intervene i...

Some people think it's a mental disability (certainly hurts my mental which disables my happiness so maybe it is lmao) but because of that assumption people definitely seem to be a lot more patient an...

honest opinion is that it is more like a program for someone who wants to improve their public speaking skills and confidence, not a stuttering therapy program. Even then, I don't think anything it of...

I don't like the word 'cure' because it's really vague and implies being 100% rid of your stutter. I think the goal for most is getting it down to a very low spm (stutters per minute) rate. My dad had...

It seems like its only for tourettes with not mention of stuttering, which is kind of depressing....

I also went to speech therapy for 10 years. They promised me it will go away since it happens to most kids but it never did. Their tricks worked for a while and then they stopped. Why did you go...

I get you . I know why you feel the way you feel. I feel sorry for you. Its the same why I don't judge people who get super religious when they experience intense trauma. The fact you cannot face r...

Stuttering is not a gift and you are delusional. People like you are the curse of this community....

That is because people don't believe stuttering is a real thing. Even mild stutterers are victims of this. They just believe we are nervous. They don't understand this is a neurological condition tha...

You are ableist since you are are going against basic proven scientific facts. This is like arguing against a flat earther. Nothing I say will pull you out of your belief and delusion...
