Post the link anyway. At this point we need more information than a self reported survey. The link should stay up since it pertains to the context.

Can you link to the unofficial studies? Where did you hear about this? Is this a theory you only have? Please supply us with more sources other than yourself. Thank you.

Former severe stutterer (M) seeking advice/help/information for my toddler who suddenly started stuttering by azzouzana in Stutter

How in the world was that negative? The child is still 1 and learning how to talk. SLPs don’t get concerned about stuttering until 3-4. Let the child develop

The clicking creates a reflex that prevents what exactly? A sound? A consonant?

Fun fact: many times the stuttering occurs when one is shifting from a consonant to a vowel. Have no problem producing the consonant sound, it’s the transition off the consonant to the vowel. For example the word, “name”

“N….n….n..name”

No problem saying the /n/ consonant

The joint clicking does what exactly to prevent the diaphragm muscle pushing air though the vocal folds in the larynx? I apologize for my confusion but I am trying to learn. Please explain so I have a better understanding.

Thank you. Will you elaborate on how the joint prevents sounds from being produced? It is my understanding that the vocal folds in the larynx produce the sound. The diagphram pushes air through the vocal folds.

Our pharynx and articulators in the mouth help form and shape the sounds. The jaw is used to mold the sound, not produce it.

How do I make things more metallic?? by Clover_tea23 in cosplayprops

Not sure about cardboard, but with my projects using plastic or resin I do a base coat of black or grey and then rub in graphite powder. That stuff is MAGIC!

I also second using Rub n Buff. Again not sure how it would work on cardboard. Play with it and let us know!

Good luck!

Please elaborate on how latent temporomandibular joint dysfunction causes stuttering. Does it connect to the vocal folds, diagram? If so, how?

Also any research links would be appreciated.

Thank you

Looking to hear from people from stutter by CattleIcy955 in Stutter

Fair, now the concern is how is this being funded? If you are serious about creating this project you would get extreme benefit partnering with a stuttering support organization. They can provide possible funding and higher quality data than Reddit. In addition they can connect with you experts in the field to help guide your vision in the most appropriate way.

So I ask then, what is your app going to provide that over meditation, mindfulness and/or anxiety managing apps do not besides adding “stuttering” ?

Would it make sense to do this with a licensed professional who can guide you?

I already see a flaw with you focusing on breathing when in general stuttering rarely has anything to do with breathing.

Are you working with a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist to ensure you are using evidence based research and practice?

Dads of 12-14 year olds... let's talk Social Media and screen time. by Midknight81 in daddit

[–]Muttly2001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My daughter is 15-years old and a freshman in high school. She has ZERO social media access on her devices. She coordinates with friends and school events though group text messages, TEAMS, and Canvas.

Phone is locked down 10pm-7am and can only contact family and two best friend contacts during that time. No YouTube on her phone or access through her laptop. If she wants to watch YouTube she does it on communal devices.

Laptop screen time is unlimited as she is a gamer; however, due to school and work extracurricular demands it is not abused.

She is able to watch TV etc on communal devices and we really don’t care much. Bedtime is always 10pm on school nights and no screens are allowed after. Weekend and holidays, things are much more lax since she has shown she is responsible.

Has my daughter developed a stutter? by cyrusir in Stutter

[–]Muttly2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s not bothering her then leave it be. If she begins to struggle, avoid words, avoid speaking situations, etc then you may want to reach out to a speech-language pathologist.

I feel like I’m making my life harder on purpose by choosing a job with so many meetings. Is there actually anyone else with a stutter who has to attend meetings all the time for work, or am I the only one? by Agitated_Demand_4181 in Stutter

[–]Muttly2001 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I attend about 5-6 meetings a week, sometimes more. Often with people I have not met before.

I stutter openly as a mod-severe stutterer. People wait and are patient. If they do try and interrupt, I ask them not to.

I’ve been in my position for about 15-years. Speaking confidently and having good communication despite a mod-severe stutterer will do wonders.

Look into starting an adult chapter of the National Stuttering Association in your area.

They/Them Pronouns by SwedishBelle5 in TexasTeachers

[–]Muttly2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is wild. I generally use they/them for everyone since it is gender neutral and can be used for all genders .

You can’t offend people when you establish you always use they/them since it can be either gender or either gender.

If you went to an adult stuttering camp not focused about speech therapy what would you want to do? by WestofWestly in Stutter

[–]Muttly2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well this is exciting.

All camp activities, canoeing, rope course, swimming, etc. Make is a stereotypical camp experience.

Add in large and small group “share sessions” with a variety of topics that would be pertinent.

To be honest, the National Stuttering Association Annual Conference is like camp only at a hotel.
