Why is there not more awareness on stuttering like there is for other conditions? It seems that whenever I go online I always see a ton of videos spreading awareness about things like autism, adhd, ocd, tourrettes, bpd, chronic illness, and a ton of other stuff. Don't get me wrong, there absolutely should be awareness about those things, and I'm glad that there's so much information available about them, but it seems that stuttering is not one of the conditions that people are trying to spread awareness about. I scroll through instagram reels a lot, and whenever I try to search if there are any reels about stuttering, I can't really find anything besides "funny stuttering guy" or something like that making fun of stuttering. This is going to sound a little offensive, but I wish stuttering was one of the "trending" disorders. I feel like if there was as much awareness about stuttering as so many of these other conditions, people who stutter would feel less embarrassed to talk about it.
