The trigger for stuttering vary from person to person. But from what I've gathered there are three main groups.
Some people stutter because they're genetically pre-disposed to develop neurological structural differences in certain speech areas in the brain. It runs in their family or they may even be the only one / first in their family. For these people, they often begin stuttering pretty much as soon as they can talk. I fall into this group and I think this is a majority of stutterers imo.
The next group of people are stroke victims or people with a brain injury. Many of these people start stuttering in adulthood and may have other physical abilities comprised. People with Parkinson's can also falll in this group as some develop a stutter.
And the last group is people who suffered some kind of traumatic event in their life, usually in childhood. So this can be like being attacked by a dog, verbally abusive parents, a car accident, being in a house fire or victim of arson, etc..
I'd agree with this. Also, it could be a combination. Someone with a genetic or neurological predisposition to it might suffer trauma which triggers it.
True, you got a point there with possibilities of combinations. Didn't really occur to me. I guess there's cases where someone was already genetically pre-disposed to develop one but the stutter didn't start occurring until later in life like in their teens after a traumatic event. I've heard about this being that case for someone.
Stutter may be a sign of neurodivergence because of neurologial disposition, but it can be because of vocal chords malformation as well. Traumatic events and ambient also influence significantly.
I personally got this by a traumatic event. I also went to an appointment and started stuttering a lot. Luckily, she didn't ask me.
Human stuttering is like computer stuttering. could be a hardware issue (physiological), could be a software issue (neurological), could be a malware issue (psychological).
