I'm sorry but I don't think that people that stutter are more intelligent than others. I think that some times because people ignore the stuttering people, the people that stutter end up making books their "friends". Therefore, some stuttering people end up more intellingent than people that don't stutter.

Think what you feel. If people cut you off... I don't think that they are really worth your time.

it wont last 4ever hunnie, trust me..xx

No, there is no particular intelligence difference between stutterers and those who don't.

There are professional speech therapists that can and DO deal with stuttering. Go see one and stop the suffering.

no they are not. most of the time it's just a habit that has developed as a way of coping, drugs can cause it
you neve know

trust me if you do the best you can you will always do the best

I work with a man that stutters when he is nervous or anxious, he is a school psychologist and is a very intelligent man!! Stuttering normally has nothing to do with how smart you are. I'm sure your fine. I bet if you looked you'd find out that many brilliant people stutter.

sometimes i stutter but not often liike you. stutterings cool. its like that one song "stutter ... stutter"

just punch them & say hey im talking! have confidence & stuff like that....................

or write it
lol

i dont think ppl who stutter are smarter. lol

>As a matter of fact, they are usually above-average in intelligence. Researchers (just recently) have found what causes stuttering and how to stop it ...saw the report on Discovery Health channel. Try to find it, you will be very interested, I'm sure. Lots of luck.<

Of course not! That's like asking if deaf or blind people aren't as smart as sighted or hearing people. It might just be a family trait or some people just don't feel comfortable talking for whatever reason in their past. I know that it's hard if you stutter, because I have a family friend with that problem. He is extremely intelligent but since his family doesn't have much money for speech therapy, someone might not know that. It is difficult for him to get the type of job that he wants because of his speech impediment, but that does not change the fact that he is very bright.

Ask your speech therapist for help with this, or if you don't have one, practice talking in front of a mirror. Imagine that when you are talking to someone that you're scared of, that that is your best friend, or your pet or something and maybe you'll feel more comfortable.

Good luck!

people who stutter get it when they're born or else they get it from people by hearing them stutter a lot......but i don't think people who stutter are smarter than people who don't....the smartness counts on how hard they work and how much effort they put in to it

MERRY CHRISTMAS :)

My wife stutters a bit. She says it started when she was around 11 years old - difficult childhood to say the least.

She rarely stutters with me anymore, that seems to indicate a relation to self-confidence or feeling insecure. She will stutter when nervous or with strangers.


I'd say she is neither more nor less intelligent than others. Maybe there are different reasons for stuttering, I don't know, but from my personal experience the problem would seem to be some lack of self-esteem or self-confidence.

sorry if this is no help.

There is no correlation between stuttering and greater or less intelligence. There is help available by therapists and some new electronic devices that are sometimes successful that are worn in the ear. Chances that your stuttering will go away on it's own depends on how long and when it began as well as why. I stuttered for a very long time and a speech therapist at my school helped me to over come what is a really devastating condition. It annoys some people and that is THEIR problem. Good luck there is help available. Go on the the websites available on your search engine....there is help and you are in my thoughts and prayers because I know how you feel. Good luck!
