    Not ME related but stuttering has been associated with anxiety. Apparently they think they have found underlying biology and are working on a drug treatment. Lucky stutterers (well maybe).

    Here's the research abstract (2021):

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34859215/

    Here's a Canadian news item discussing the findings:

    I can't of course speak to the validity of findings. So, just for anyone's interest.
