I recently did a presentation on Neurogenic Stuttering in my undergraduate Fluency class. I found it very interesting that when patients show neurogenic stuttering, the stutter usually subsides when the disorder itself is treated but not when the stutter is treated. Is this the same case with most of the concomitant disorders, when the disease or syndrome is treated does the stutter subside because it is not a true stutter?
