Does anyone stutter? I didn't used to, but now I do. I get stuck on the first syllable of whatever I'm trying to say. What I do is try to find a different word and say that instead. Sometimes, if I'm stuck on "I," and I'm saying "I...I...I...(the rest of the sentence might be "tried to download something on iTunes), I can say "I'm stuck." I still get the I, if I change the rest of the sentence. So frustrating!

I don't exactly stutter, but sometimes I get stuck repeating a word over and over again until I realize I'm repeating it.

Yeah. Words just get stuck on the way out of my mouth. Sometimes to counter this I just say my sentence in a completely random order, then say: 'I could have worded that better' get a laugh and try not to mentally berate myself.
I think because of only recently starting to talk more and because of my ADHD it's harder for me to talk fluently.

Is the stuttering because it gets stuck in your brain or in your mouth? For me, my brain knows what it wants to say, but my mouth gets stuck.

My brain knows what to say but the mouth gets it stuck. Sometimes I get brain freeze where I start to explain something and then just forget what I was going to say next.

I do that too! Or I start talking and then if I talk for more than a few seconds, I forget where I started. That's annoying too.
