Despite as much as one percent of the adult population having the condition, science doesn't actually know how stuttering works. The best it's come up with so far: there seems to be an issue between the physical process of speaking and the thought process that underlies it.

They break down the different types of stuttering, discuss what causes it, and examine the social dynamics that can make the condition better or worse, including what you should and shouldn't do when talking to someone who stutters.
