Is there any sort of link between Asperger Syndrome and Stuttering?!
Question: Is there any sort of link between Asperger Syndrome and Stuttering?
I was quasi-diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome about 3 years ago by my psychologist and in looking at things I had a question: is there a link between that and stuttering? I went to speech pathology for years and am wondering if it is linked.
Answers:
I know and have known hundreds of Aspies, very few of whom stutter so I doubt there's a link. There is a link between Asperger's and anxiety and it's anxiety where I think your problems lie, which is at best a very tenuous link with AS.
Professionally diagnosed Asperger and I work as a dis/Ability Advocate
