I agree with what you said, in school I was not only mocked by students but openly had teachers mimic my stuttering. In middle school people would assume me to be a “quiet kid” which I’m not trying to sound over exaggerated but that’s the equivalent of school shooter. My area isn’t nice to people with disabilities they openly mock kids with severe autism and me having a stutter not 100% of the time talking I’m a victim of bullying. More representation of stuttering would be nice but I feel like people who are fluent are openly rejecting that reality and want someone to look down on
