Crossed eyes and stuttering?!
Question:
Crossed eyes and stuttering?
Hi, I am a 21 year old boy and I have 2 very serious problems : stuttering and crossed eyes. I have these problems since childhood but now I have notice that they are getting worse. 30% of the time my eyes are straight but 70%(usually when i look things at a distance) they are crossed. My stuttering is getting worse and worse, when I was 15 years old I was able to speak on phone but now I cant speak on phone properly, I have long blocks(pauses) and sometime I even have to write on paper what ever I have to say before calling someone.
I would like to know is there is any SURGERY or guarenteed solution for these two problems, any help is appreciated. PLEASE serious answers only.
Thank you!
Answers:
I had a friend when I was young who had surgery for crossed eyes. Get an appt with an opthamologist.
The Stuttering Foundation helped our family of stutterers with their book "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" and one uncle found his speech therapist who specialized in treating stuttering through their referral.
You can overcome much of your stuttering with practice and by working diligently through that book, as it sure did help my uncles and cousins who stuttered.
