I've been stuttering ever since I knew how to speak. I stutter less now than when I was a kid. I'm 26, married and we have a 4-month old daughter. I'm glad to know that there are people who understands what I'm going through. Some people give the 'look' when I keep repeating on a word before completing my sentence. Its frustrating sometimes. But I usually try to take my time when talking with people. Anyway, my question here is if stuttering is hereditary? This is because my father stutters, my grandfather stutters and even my sister stutters too. But the level of stuttering varies from one person to another. My father and grandfather stutter less, but me and my sister stutter a lot. Its even more difficult for me as I'm working. My colleagues sometimes cut me off when I talk because I take too long to say what I want to say. So is there any comprehensive study out there to say that stuttering is hereditary? Out of my three siblings, only two of us stutters.
