It’s a shame that “normal” people think you have some mental disorder when they hear us talk, they mock us. The truth is totally opposite: I’ve seen some reports which state that stutterers have significantly higher IQs.

I have to agree that it might be genetic. Both me and my twin brother happen to stutter and have done so all our lives.

I know Phil Schneider because he was my second speech therapist. HOW THE HELL IS STUTTERING A MYSTERY? THERE ARE MILLIONS OF US IN THE WORLD!

Rebecca is so pretty and she stutters. Poor girl. She will probally benefit from the speech easy device. I wish there will be a cure someday for stutters because it does suck to stutter esp. when you are trying to talk and flirt with the opposite sex.

Interesting. I don’t stutter, but I was diagnosed with a condition called Focal Dystonia which has wrecked my ability to play my instrument completely. If you substitute the word ‘talk’ with ‘play’ in Mr Schneider’s description, he is describing my condition exactly. Now, the medical prognosis of FD is that it is neurological and irreversible. However, many many musicians have been rehabilitated completely by focusing on the psychological/emotional aspect.
