If we were to wake up one day and completely forget we had a stutter, would we still stutter (as badly)?

If we were to wake up one day and completely forget we had a stutter, would we still stutter (as badly)? The less focused I am on my stutter, the less severe it is. Example: when I get engrossed in a...

When i explain my trials with stuttering to someone, I am always fluent for some weird reason. And like clockwork, the first thing the other person says is, "see, you are fluent now". It isn't how th...

I've had my stutter since I was five. For some reason between the ages of 8 and 11 it was gone. And then I remembered I had a stutter, and it's been back ever since. My best advice is to not focus on ...

in my experience, stuttering is constantly _fluctuating_. that's part of the annoying thing about it, to never quite know where it's going. all we can do is try and remember that, so we don't get too ...

it's one of the techniques that can be used: to initiate your stutter on your own, and get good at it this way. i don't know how long it takes to get results, because i gave up on it myself when i tri...

it's not something you "contract", that's for sure. but think about it: so much stuff is happening when we grow up, and develop. stutter manifests at some point in time, and it's not really down to a ...

first, the science of stuttering isn't telling us that we can reduce the phenomenon to genes - mostly because the science of stuttering isn't _done_ yet. besides, stutters vary, and there are probably...
