Why is there so little awareness on stuttering compared to other conditions? It feels like social media is flooded with awareness videos on every disability except stuttering. I constantly see viral content about autism, ADHD, BPD, Tourette's, OCD, and many other conditions. when I search for "stuttering" on social media platforms, basically all that comes up are videos mocking people who stutter or that dumb ass trend of "when you stutter too hard in front of someone" which is supposed to be relatable to fluent people who occasionally stutter and the trend is basically saying that stuttering in front of someone is the most humiliating thing you could possibly do. It seems like stuttering is a disability that even disability advocates won’t talk about. Are we really seen as so taboo that no one will even discuss our condition?
