OP I would have to disagree with your perception of us as stutters. It’s come down to there are not many stutters in the world. Roughly about 79 million of us in the world. That is one factor. Point 2 & 3 in my opinion play a major role in society. Point number 2 is that stuttering is a HIDDEN disability. Meaning that out in society I would not be able to pick you out OP and say you have a disability until we have some form of a interaction between us. That is when in my mind OP I would say to myself this person that this person that I am currently interacting with has a disability with speaking and not a physical disability. What do I mean by a physical disability. Some examples would be a person using a cane, in a wheel chair, down syndrome. It throws the non stutterer off. My final point is this. Even though that there are about 79 million people in the world are stutters, it comes down to the lack of education and interaction. Your question OP can apply to all humans who have a disability of some form. As the saying goes, opposites do attract. I have a really foot mate who has spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a genetics disease that affects the motor neurons in his spinal cord. My mate Shane is happily married to his lovely wife Hannah, is an almost perfectly normal human being. With Shane there are roughly about 170,000 people with SMA. Shane had it since birth and uses a wheelchair to get around.
