I am literally offended by the fact that this is not seen as a disability in our country. How am I as a person supposed to compete with fluent speakers? NOT TO MENTION THE OTHER PSYCHIC PROBLEMS IT CAUSES. People will tell you "That's what speech therapy is for"... To quote one person on reddit "That's like telling a person who doesn't have legs that he has prosthetics and is actually healthy". I swear to God, I will dedicate my life to seeing justice done for us. Not to make light of anyone's problems but fluent people have absolutely no idea what we are going through. If I was some junkie who brought this on himself so be it but what have we done to deserve this!
