I agree our struggles aren't taken seriously and people tend to brush them off, but it's not a disability. There are countless examples of stutterers thriving. The POTUS. Many in Hollywood. Business. Sales. All walks of life. If you stutter by yourself and absolutely any scenario, I might argue that it's a disability for that person. You can try making the claim yours is more severe than any of those listed above, but it's a bullshit claim. And it's impossible to quantify the degree of severity especially considering variability in your own fluency through days and weeks. You do you though. Just don't include me.
