-Do stuttering people stutter when they're thinking to themselves?

Answer 1

Great question.

I am not a stutterer, but from what I've read, most probably do not stutter when thinking. I think this is because people who stutter know what they want to say, but have some trouble saying it. I am sure it's very similiar to situations we have all probably experienced at one time, where, for example, walking up to an attractive person, saying something, and then thinking to yourself, "Somehow, that sounded better in my head".

There's also some other language disorder called cluttering that might involve people who migh stutter when thinking:

Answer 2

I really don't know, but it is said that stutterers don't stutter when singing. In my native Puerto Rico, when a stutterer tries to say something and it doesn't come out, they are told to sing what they are trying to say. But it is more to try to tease them than to help them.

Answer 3

Of course not! stuttering is a speech problem not a brain (thinking) one!

Answer 4

No. Most people who stutter do so when excited.

Answer 5

No - I stutter every once in awhile, but I am remarkably articulate in my head. S.s.s.shame.
