[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 184678, member: 1991"] Totoro, you said, "You know N does what I think is stuttering, but it is stammering of a whole sentence?" difficult child 3's speech pathologist called it "dysfluency". Stuttering is one form of dysfluency. difficult child 3 will repeat what he says, going back to repeat a phrase, a word or even a sentence. or more. he also does it with his piano-playing, so he would play the same note over and over (or the same bar) until he felt ready to move on to the next bit. It made it very difficult to play 'a tempo' and we realised that no matter how skilled he was in so many areas, he wouldn't be able to progress much further with his piano lessons. husband has the same vocal habit, so does easy child 2/difficult child 2. The Speech Pathologist says it's a problem with beginning to speak without the words already neatly lined up ready to be spoken; or the words getting lost partway through the sentence. They're not necessarily talking especially fast, just faster than their mind can keep up. Sometimes especially with the kids, they start speaking before they really were ready. husband's father had something similar, but he spoke VERY slowly. I wonder if this was something he learned (or was taught - his mother was a VERY good teacher and she home-schooled her kids) in order to disguise the problem. mother in law is insistent that neither husband nor easy child 2/difficult child 2 nor difficult child 3 have any dysfluency. She was very upset with the Speech pathologist's report for even mentioning it - "how dare she?" was the reaction, and she wanted me to complain about it and ask for the report to be changed to remove any reference to "such untruths". I don't know why this upset her so much and I can't understand how she can say husband never used to do this - he has for as long as I've known him. Marg [/QUOTE]
