Stuttering is a problem that affects approximately one in every hundred people. It is mainly men who stutter, seven out of ten people who stutter are male.
There are many types of stutter. Family and friends may not even be aware that a person they know has a stutter. That is because the person is able to hide the stutter, by using word avoidance or word substitution.
Other people are unable to ddo this and have what they would consider an openely more severe stutter.
Stuttering would normally occur more when a person is:
under pressure
when tired
meeting new people
speaking in an uncomfortable situation
asking questions, for example asking for directions
introducing people
Stuttering can also be known in some areas as stammering.
