A lot of children just naturally recover from childhood stuttering. Probably because of brain development and etc. BUT, I was wondering why some people don't stutter anymore and recover in their 20's and early 30's when they should have been chronic stutterers. Ex. John Harrison and etc. Also, a lot of retired people report that their stuttering is better than ever. Is it that older people just have thicker skin??? "When the man told him that he was a stutterer, too, but too old and tired to stutter so hard any more so he "just let the words leak out" now."
