Acceptance is not all, but part of the healing process. We tend to see stuttering as a weight to our lives that only brings negative connotations to us. However, there are certain traits that are valuable, and we stutterers tend to develop them more than the average: we listen and watch better than others, which gives us a better perspective on the world around us; we tend to be more empathic and to think outside the box, as we are forced to do so; and we tend to be more resilient, as we need to work harder for almost everything. These qualities aren’t given; we earn them the hard way. I like this south park episode that touches on the subject remarkably well (just change "ugliness" for "stuttering"), The List S11 E14
