I have other disabilities than a stutter, both mental and physical, and tbh stuttering is not the worse, but holy shit it's the one that brings me the most self hate, I am clearly neurodivergent, I have a cane and a limp, but all of that doesn't keep me awake at night because people somewhat know what those are so they usually act normally, and any bad interaction I have because of those slide on me, i don't care But a person smiles when I try to say "credit" at the grocery store? Or people asking what's wrong with me specifically because of the stutter, now I have a problem, I don't know why it's technically the less worse thing I have but damn it's the one thing people joke about, the one thing that makes me eat stuff i don't wanna eat, end up at the wrong place, have people laugh at me etc. I think it's all about that awareness thing, people don't know how to react to people stuttering, they don't know it has nothing to do with intelligence, it can have very different origins, different presentation, it's such a big vague thing, everyone knows a stutterer but no one ever knows how to interact with us.
