In the absence of a solution, we are left to cope with stuttering as best we can.. I believe the stuttering community often turns to an acceptance-based approach. That is, 'stuttering comfortably, openly, and with self-compassion' as a healthier alternative to the psychological toll, such as depression which I guess can arise from resisting or concealing it.. and as you pointed out. this can also lead to comparisons with other disabilities, as a way to normalize or ease the struggle of coming to terms with stuttering. But I see what you mean, and I think it's time we focus on what we CAN do rather than adding even more coping strategies to the mix
