My identical Twin does not stutter but I do, can stuttering be genetic? Also, a little rant about stuttering, be nice to hear from others! :)

My identical Twin does not stutter but I do, can stuttering be genetic? Also, a little rant about stuttering, be nice to hear from others! :) I have a stammer and my identical twin does not. Would thi...

I have found that completly not thinking about my stutter helps. As soon as I remember I have a stutter it's like a switch is flipped to where Ill stutter way more then usual....

not sure if this will help, but i think mine gets worse and then better. i don’t usually mention it unless it’s to a nice lady at a bar (mostly so she doesn’t think i’m hammered) but a therapist did a...

yeah. It's like my brain suddenly becomes aware of it and it causes me to stuter more than the usual amount...

My stuttering has been a rollercoaster for the last 15 years (I'm 28). Sometimes I would be perfectly fluent for several months, then I'd pause, get blocks, the letters of hard words change, from mild...

Stutter tends to vary over time, so it's likely just within regular variance. The trick, I guess, is to not let it surprise you. If you're having trouble managing it, you could try visiting a speech t...

a trial doesn't prove anything. Have you ever not had a problem in a certain situation and then started having trouble there? Changing your name in a few spots as a test is completely different from t...

I think you've hit on something big in stuttering. We all have a reaction to stuttering and the degree and valence of our reaction will influence the degree of those reactions we have to stuttering. I...

In my case I'm talking about really unexpected punchlines. Even outside of jokes, when something funny happens I usually laugh first....

I meant that stutter is like a wave, and if you are at the peak you may not see the decline, but you HAVE TO belive that the decline exsists, because it does....

Stutter varies. It's not necessarily related to anything you do (or not)....

I couldn't agree with this more. Sometimes you just need to ride out the tough speech time. I can go through months in which I feel like I almost have no stutter, and then go through a week in which I...

I've always had ups and downs with my stutter. I'd have months where i thought I has conquered it for the most part, only to have it return in full force because stress or lack of sleep or anxiety or ...

I have no idea. I was fluent up until I reached my teens. That's when stuttering came up suddenly. It has also gotten a lot worse since then. Nothing genetic for me because no one in my family that I ...

Anyone tried gluten free diet?

Anyone tried gluten free diet? Gluten can cause severe neurological problems for those that are intolerant or sensitive. Some of my relatives are celiacs and I will certainly give gluten free diet a s...

Zero to 100

Zero to 100 Hello fellow stutters. I’m wondering if many others have a similar stutter to me. When I meet someone new I have almost no stutter, I’ll maybe stumble on a few words here and there but ...

Stutter varies a lot. The main thing you need to know is that it's not your fault - it's not something you're doing (or not). It's stutter - it varies with context and over time. The best thing to do ...

Well, we don't know how stutter works, exactly. I wouldn't worry about trying to understand it, really. Also, don't lay any blame on yourself (especially not via a problematic term like "subconscious...

We don't know exactly what causes stutter, but it seems likely it's a bunch of things together. We do know, however, that stutter varies a lot depending on activities - which further varies across st...

Lots actually. But like any good science, the more learn just leads to even more interesting questions because we realize how much we don’t know. What you’re describing sounds more akin to “variabilit...
