Question: Should I consider myself a stutterer So I have dyslexia and because of that, I have a bit of a stutter. A lot of times when speaking I'll stammer over words. I oftentimes have trouble getting my thoughts in a coherent manner because of this.I have also read articles linking dyslexia to stuttering ([here](https://stamma.org/do-dyslexia-and-stuttering-share-processing-deficit#:~:text=Mahmoud%20said%2C%20%22Although%20dyslexia%20and,speech%20sounds%20within%20a%20word)). I don't want to improperly coopt a disability that's not my own but should I consider myself a stutterer.
