AI Overview
"Stutter bumps" are
informal terms for the speech disfluencies that are characteristic of stuttering, which is a speech disorder. They manifest as repetitions of sounds or words (e.g., "I li-li-like you"), prolongations of sounds (e.g., "I liiiike that"), and silent or audible blocks where speech is interrupted (e.g., "I w...ant it"). These disruptions can be accompanied by struggle behaviors like tension or physical reactions such as eye blinking.
Types of "stutter bumps"
Repetitions: Repeating a sound, syllable, word, or phrase multiple times.
Part-word: "I w-w-w-want a drink"
Whole word/syllable: "Go-go-go away" or "mu-mu-mu-mummy"
Prolongations: Holding out a sound for an extended duration, often with tension.
Example: "Ssssssssam is nice"
Blocks: A complete pause or stop in the airflow, where speech is interrupted.
Example: "I want a (pause) cookie"
Characteristics and impact
Struggle behaviors: Stuttering can be accompanied by physical tension, rapid eye blinks, or other facial tremors.
Varying severity: Symptoms can vary throughout the day and may be more severe in certain situations like speaking in public or on the phone.
Psychological impact: Stuttering can negatively affect communication effectiveness and lead to emotional or social impacts, though some people may not be bothered by it.
When to seek help
You may want to consult a speech-language pathologist if the "bumps" seem more regular than typical, if the person is becoming aware of their difficulty with fluency, or if there are physical reactions.
Things to avoid
Don't rush or interrupt the person.
Avoid telling them to "slow down" or "think about what you want to say," as these phrases are generally not helpful.
