Cluttering is characterized by a rapid and/or irregular speech rate, excessive disfluencies, and often a lack of awareness of the disorder. It can include overuse of fillers, circumlocutions (talking around a word when its direct name cannot be recalled), and repetitions of words or phrases, which are symptoms not typically associated with SLI (Specific Language Impairment), ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), or stuttering.
