My son has always had this problem but only when he gets excited. It's like his mind is working faster than his mouth. Unfortunately, other people are starting to notice and asking questions. I just tell them what I said above. I was just wondering if this is a common problem among adders?:confused:

My brother and I both have this problem. We are both ADHD-C.

Some people just stutter. On the other hand, some medications will cause stuttering.
Also, conditions like turrets syndrome and OCD will cause stuttering.

I have adhd, and I have always tended to stutter when excited. I sometimes get stuck on a word. I also have anxiety disorder and ocd tendencies, which can exacerbate my tendency to stutter.

My instincts tell me that if the prooblem has recently worsened, you might want to review his medications, as he might be developing issues with anxiety and it could lead to things worse than stuttering if overlooked. I'm probably wrong, but I'm following a hunch... In any event talk to your son's doctor.

ME :D

I don't stutter, but when I get excited all my words come out totally wrong, and I make no sence and have to start all over again...

I will mention it. He has an appointment next week. Getting stuck on a word is mostly what he does more than classic stuttering. For Instance if he were trying to say "stuck" instead of "st st st st stuck" it would come out "stuck" but several times.

Just curious but what other problem it lead to if it were anxiety?

Well, in my opinion (take it or leave it), unchecked anxiety opens the door to anxiety disorders such as anxiety attacks, panic attacks, ocd, etc. For example: if a person who has the genetic tendency for OCD is subjected to the stress of unmitigated anxiety for a prolonged period, he/she may exhibit symptoms of ocd where previously there were none.

Is he taking stimulants presently ?

Does he have AS, or ocd ?

Me :D
He is on Concerta 56mg. He has only been dx with ADHD.

maybe it is just the concerta. Did he do this before starting on concerta ?

It's weird for me. I only stutter once in a blue moon. And then only mildly when nervous. Usually around a woman I want to be with. Dddddid yyyou hear that gggggrls?:D

Yes. He's done it ever since he could talk. Like I said it's only when he gets excited and can't seem to tell you something fast enough. I really wouldn't be concerned if someone else hadn't mentioned it. I guess I just thought no one else noticed. :faint:

LOL:D

I don't think I'd traumatize him by trying to "cure" him of something that is neurological. Let him stutter. Chances are it is hard wired, and there is no point in making the kid miserable over something he can't change.

Thank you very much. I was actually hoping someone would say this to me. I do believe I will take your advice. I appreciate your time. :D

It's weird for me. I only stutter once in a blue moon. interesting side note...well i found it interesting anyways, the phrase "once in a blue moon" actually means once every volcanic eruption, the ashes and fumes given off make the moon appear blue.

now that may just be me but i found that quite intriguing, learnt it in a questionnaire game years ago called "you don't know jack" loved it, although it was a demo, it had great little songs for each number question.

i sometime stutter a little when i'm excited and i want to say something, i know i'm doing it and it frustrates me conciderably usually anyways, what annoys me more is if a m8 tries to help me out by saying the word, i know he's trying to help but i really have to say it for myself :D

...actually thinking about it, i might of said the side note before.....i'm not sure, i can't remember, curse my goldfish like memory :mad:.
