If you are in the US, yes, [stuttering is considered a disability under the ADA.](https://www.stutteringtreatment.org/blog/the-americans-with-disabilities-act-what-it-means-to-people-who-stutter#:~:text=In%20order%20to%20be%20substantially,considered%20disabled%20under%20the%20ADA) I’ve been fired from a job because of my stutter and had to hire an employment lawyer to get my job back, and was given disability accommodation by the HR department. Definitely keep that in mind if you ever find yourself in a situation where you think you’re being discriminated against in a work environment - although I really hope it doesn’t happen to you.
