I don't consider myself disabled as in requiring special accomodation in formal setting, but I do consider myself disabled in that I am limited and challenged from my condition enough that I am at a disadvantage with fluent people. This is my biggest frustration with stuttering. I'm neither here or there. I am supposed to thrive and seemingly capable of it, but always end up just shy of the mark. People are also less compassionate, as stuttering tends to be seen as an issue of will and within the person's domain of control. In many ways, it'd be easier to be regarded as disabled instead of being seen as a person who cannot control his impulses.
