Dilbert Creator and NSDA Honorary Board Member Scott Adams discusses his diagnosis journey with spasmodic dysphonia. He shares, “It felt good just to know what my condition was. I imagine there’s a lot of people out there who haven’t yet figured out the diagnosis of their voice problem who have some good news coming: It’s got a name, you’re not alone, and there is something you can do about it.”

Spasmodic dysphonia (SD) is a rare, neurological voice disorder that makes speaking difficult because the vocal cords spasm when a person speaks, causing the voice to either sound choked, strangled, or breathy. The National Spasmodic Dysphonia Association, a 501(c)(3) organization, is a patient advocacy organization dedicated to improving the lives of people with spasmodic dysphonia and related voice conditions through programs of research, education, awareness, and support.
