> I know I'm in the minority but I don't go for the whole "woe is you, poor stutterer, you are less than a regular human, so we will not require you to do the things a regular human can do." Nah, you didn't mean to put it that way, did you? "Woe is you, poor stutterer, you are less than a regular human?" No one wants to be around that attitude. But the last part of what you say there, "so we will not require you to do the things a regular human can do," that's really up to the one with the stutter, isn't it. You're either able to believe that you can do something that someone thinks you can't or you're not, at least at the moment, able. And coddling, well, I think there's a line between coddling and recognizing what someone's limits are at the moment. I get that sometimes being forced to do something that you don't believe you can do can be revelatory. But it can also be devastating. I don't think it's so simple.
