Wirbah,

The cluttering referred to here is a disorder of fluency characterized by poor language formulation (often, when these individuals try to tell a story, it's disorganized and hard to follow), rapid speech rate, and many other traits are are often present, but not always, including misarticulated sounds, below average reading ability, and poor handwriting, among others. Often, these individuals are not aware of how difficult they are to understand.

It's a rare disorder, probably of neurological origin and definitely different than stuttering.

Hope this helps.

Dale
