This question makes me think of one of my brothers. One of my brothers has speech that is on the higher side of normally disfluent. He told me once that he's sure if I didn't stutter that he would have. However, he said, my stuttering was so much worse that he never worried about his. Does this mean that we both had a similar physiological predisposition for our speech to break down, but only my speech manifested into stuttering since unlike my brother, I was very concerned with my speech disfluency. Had he been born first, would he be the person who stutters. I've always found this an interesting question.
