The only thing they have in common is that they are both disabilities that do not have a cure. Any parent who has an autistic child has spent many nights praying for a cure, wondering how their child will be taken care of when they are gone. And anyone who has stuttered on their own name and walked away in shame, or been turned down in a phone interview over a bad fit, has wishes for a cure. We need to stop pretending these are not both life changing disabilities and push for a cure to both.
