Is it one or two percent though? I never ran into another stutterer in grade school and in college. Where are they then? I don’t think that 1-2% is real or it doesn’t refer to stuttering into adulthood. We’re a minority that is not seen, is listened to, given sympathy, and is frequently dehumanized. Can’t say how many times now I’ve been left isolated, jobless, abandoned, and discriminated towards. Employers literally stating they can’t hire me due to my stuttering or employers treating me like garbage. But I guess I’m just throwing a pity party according to my recent therapist who accused me of being on drugs.
