And I don’t like this thinking. Stuttering is a disability. It doesn’t matter if someone has it worse, we still have it hard too. Saying someone should be thankful is just silencing them and invading their experiences to me. Of course we’re thankful we just wish we got a bit more. And stuttering is a very exhausting and mentally painful experience I wouldn’t wish on anyway. Just because being blind or deaf is worse doesn’t mean other disabilities are better to have. Because no disability is good to have. We shouldn’t be comparing this because any disorder is painful to have, worse or not.
