  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuttering

  Stuttering is a speech disorder characterized externally by involuntary repetitions and prolongations of sounds, syllables, words, or phrases as well as involuntary silent pauses called blocks in which the person who stutters is unable to produce sounds. Persistent stuttering into adulthood often leads to outcomes detrimental to overall mental health, such as social isolation and suicidal thoughts. […] Stuttering is purely a neurological disconnect between intent and outcome during the task of expressing each individual sound. While there are rarer neurogenic (e.g. acquired during physical insult) and psychogenic (e.g. acquired after adult-onset mental illness or trauma) variants, the typical etiology, development, and presentation is that of idiopathic stuttering in childhood that then becomes persistent into adulthood.

  https://www.advancedtherapyclinic.com/blog/what-helps-stuttering

  Stuttering is a speech disorder that affects approximately 3 million people in the United States, manifesting as disruptions in the normal flow of speech. Stuttering primarily manifests through disruptions in speech flow, including: Repetitions: Repeating sounds, syllables, or words (e.g., „b-b-b-ball”) […] Prolongations: Stretching sounds for longer than typical (e.g., „sssssnow”) […] Blocks: Stopping abruptly in the flow of speech, often accompanied by physical tension. Stuttering symptoms can often intensify due to various emotional and environmental triggers. Key contributors include: Fatigue and Stress: Physical exhaustion can lower a person’s resilience, making speech more challenging. Similarly, emotional stress creates a heightened sense of pressure, often leading to increased disfluencies.

They may repeat parts of words, stretch a sound out for a long time, or get stuck before starting a word or in the middle of saying a word. […] Stuttering can change from day to day. At times, you may be more fluent; at other times, you may stutter more. Stress or excitement can lead to more stuttering. […] The following types of disfluencies happen when someone stutters: Part-word repetitions „I w-w-w-want a drink.” One-syllable word repetitions „Go-go-go away.” Long, held-out sounds „Ssssssss am is nice.” Blocks or stops „I want a (pause) cookie.” […] Personal feelings, situations, and the actions of others can affect the amount a person stutters.

  Stammering, also sometimes referred to as stuttering, affects speech and is relatively common in childhood. It can also can persist into adulthood. […] Stammering varies in severity from person to person, and from situation to situation. Someone might have periods of stammering followed by times when they speak relatively fluently. […] Stammering can happen if some parts of this developing system are not co-ordinated. This can cause repetitions and stoppages, particularly when the child has lots to say, is excited, or feels under pressure. […] As the brain continues to develop, stammering may resolve or the brain can compensate, which is why many children stop stammering as they get older. […] It’s estimated that stammering affects around 1 in 50 adults, with men being around 3 to 4 times more likely to stammer than women.

Blocks: Stopping in the middle of a word or sentence without being able to produce the next sound.

[…] Neurogenic stuttering may occur at any point in the production of a word, rather than primarily at the beginning, as is common with developmental stuttering. […] Neurogenic stuttering often occurs on any type or class of word anywhere in a sentence rather than being linked to content words such as nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. […] Neurogenic stuttering is often not alleviated by the same conditions that significantly lessen developmental stuttering. […] It is not uncommon for individuals with neurogenic stuttering to experience several other types of communication impairments.

  New symptoms of stuttering in adults may be related to neurogenic stuttering. This type of stammer may begin after an injury or disease that affects the central nervous system, like a stroke, meningitis, or a tumor. […] Neurogenic stuttering symptoms may include excessive levels of disfluencies, hesitations and pauses in speech, not finishing words, adding extra sounds or words while speaking, rapid bursts of speech that may not be easy to understand, and new movements in the lips, jaw, or tongue while speaking. […] Psychogenic stuttering often emerges suddenly in adulthood, triggered by trauma or emotional stress. The symptoms of psychogenic stuttering are the same as neurological stuttering, but they are related to psychological or emotional distress rather than physical injury.

Neurogenic stuttering might be considered as a possible diagnosis if one or more of the following symptoms are observed: Excessive levels of normal disfluencies or interruptions in the forward flow of speech, such as interjections and revisions; Other types of disfluencies, such as repetitions of phrases, words, and parts of words (sounds or syllables, prolongations of sounds), etc; Hesitations and pauses in unexpected or inappropriate locations in an utterance; Cessation of speech during the production of a word without finishing the word; Intrusive or extraneous additional sounds during speech production; Rapid bursts of speech which may be unintelligible; Extraneous movements of lips, jaw, or tongue while attempting to speak, including posturing.

• #86 The genetics of stuttering | Pursuit by the University of Melbourne

  https://pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/the-genetics-of-stuttering

  Stuttering is a common speech disorder that interrupts speech fluency and tends to cluster in families. […] Typically, stuttering is characterised by speech sounds, words or syllables which may be repeated or prolonged as well as speech that may be further interrupted by hesitations or blocks. […] Most childhood stuttering resolves with therapy, but some persists into adulthood. […] In over two thirds of cases of stuttering in childhood, the stuttering eventually resolves with therapy. However, in severe cases, the disorder can persist into adulthood. […] When stuttering persists, the negative impacts are far-reaching and can be lifelong. People who stutter are more likely to experience poorer quality of life, bullying, social anxiety disorder and depression. […] A clinical diagnosis of stuttering is based on the frequency of stuttering symptoms during conversational speech or reading. […] Our research also opens up further study into this new chaperone pathway and related pathways which will continue to improve our understanding of the genetic architecture of persistent developmental stuttering.

  For someone who stutters, living with this communication disorder can have a tremendous effect emotionally and on the individuals daily life. Such an individual may experience fear speaking certain words, speaking in public in front of an unknown crowd in a work setting, holding leadership positions, and socializing. Children may particularly experience bullying by their peers, for this manner of speaking. Without a positive coping mechanism, individuals may be affected in their choice of careers, or position in the community. Individuals should be encouraged to also figure out ways to decrease anxiety and stress load, as this can exacerbate stuttering. […] Children or adults who stutter may appear not to be as outgoing and withdrawn, as a result of the fear of being mocked by others. They may be prone to aggression, as a result of being unable to express anger openly. Many with childhood-onset fluency disorder appear prone to depression, which can have devastating effects if not addressed quickly and appropriately. Children as a result may perform poorly in school because of being unable to express themselves in class, work well in groups and do all that may be expected academically. Adults may have a challenging time holding management and leadership positions that involve being the voice of the organization. Furthermore adults may experience hardships not only in public settings, but even in the home front, with family relationships, such as in marriage.
