Who is a stutterer ?
Stutterers are people who have problems with fluent speaking. It is not lisping, wrong pronunciation of sibilants or similar failures. The stutterer stutters. Some stutterers repeat a part of words or the whole words. The phonation pressure is at the beginning of some words.
The most time we meet with repeating the first syllable of a word. Repeating syllables which are inside words is less often. These manifestations of the disease are done with some movements, that should make them pronounce a word easy. Stutterers usually move with heads, hands, have convulsions or wry mouths at pronouncing the first syllable of a word in these eventualities.
Stutterers usually avoid some words which are difficult for them. That is typical. Speaking could also be defective in contents.
There is also possible that stutterers do not show their psychical fear outwardly. Other people cannot see their fear and the stutterer speaks after meanwhile. Another option can be also possible. It is when initial convulsion is at the beginning but after this speaking is fluent.
Almost each stutterer does not have any alienation. The brain works without any problems in all of its activities except of speaking. Many famous people are verification, f.e. Moses, Claudius, the emperor of Rome empire, Isaac Newton, the genius physicist or Winston Churchill.
Stutterers often have problems with their integration to society. It causes stutterers perceive other signals and surrounding processes too sensitively and they have less self-regard and higher self-pity.
Other people should help stutterers to integrate into society. We should not avoid talking about stuttering and be afraid of it. Stutterers´ friends and family should not try to say or complete sentences instead of stutterers´ speaking. If stutterers should improve, they should speak and use speaking and not avoid doing it.
We should know if stuttering does not dissapear in early childhood, the chance of recovery is low. However many stutterers are able to increase their skills of speaking on level when they speak almost fluently and stutter just in emotional situations (f.e. higher level of stress, row, examining in the school etc.). As time goes and people get older, their failure gets better. However less positive fact is making period of stereotype. It is evident the failure is usual for organism and remedial methods that are usable in childhood, are not effective.
Stutterers do not usually stutter when they speak with themselves, sing, recite in an echelon or speak with artificial things (toys). Thinking is also fluent.
Stuttering has not been taboo and degradation long since. It is a test of tolerance for derivations of well-being and people special characteristics in society.
