Acceptance is how people deal with losing a limb, or dealing with losing eyesight, or losing hearing, or being diagnosed with serious illness - all sorts of ailments are dealt with via acceptance. It's nothing new. Acceptance is how most serious unchangeable maladies are treated. Acceptance isn't some bizarre cult, it's a mindset of how find a place for yourself within life's limitations. If you have medication, take it. If you have a stuttering coping mechanism that works for you, keep on using it. The point is to not make stuttering the main focus of your existence. You can be a well-rounded person with many different offerings and are a valued person within any community no matter what your fluency level.
