Cluttering is when a person's mind *moves much faster than their mouth, so they start talking but their mind is *racing way ahead, and they get lost partway through the story, and have to *start back at the beginning. It isn't repeating just a word, it's starting Oh, that has a name and is an actual recognized entity? I just thought it was something really annoying that happens to me now and then If it only happens now and then, you're suffering from brain farts, not cluttering. :-) Or perhaps old timers disease. Same difference. But cluttering is really significant and if you have ever been around someone who is a clutterer you'd see in a heartbeat that this isn't a brain fart, it's a really big and pretty weird speech dysfluency. As I said, it's fairly rare, so rare that most SLPs haven't ever encountered it or even know what it is, but it's quite significant when you are around someone with the problem. It can improve greatly with ST, but clutterers always have kind of a wandering way of reporting anything, with starts and stops in the most unlikely places, and definate word finding issues. |
