I don’t want to delve into which disability is the worse among being a paraplegic and a stutter. But I’m gonna argue that they are similar in a way. Like a paraplegic, a PWS can do all exercises that they can, but they will never be able to get rid of the stutter. It will always surface. Also, I would like to argue that I feel that a stutter has really detrimental psychological ramifications. When someone sees a paraplegic, they will know that they cannot move easily, and I can safely assume that the paraplegic are ridiculed less than PWS. For stutterers, people who hear the stutter won’t immediately know you’re a stutterer, and so instead of showing compassion, they could be surprised or dumbfounded (like in my case). They would judge and criticize you. *Are they illiterate, dumb, shy, soft?* You mentioned that for a paraplegic, every day is an obstacle course. That is true, even for PWS. But I would say that PWS get laughed at through said obstacle course. I would also respectfully disagree when you said that people avoid difficult things by choice. I’ll use myself as an example. I avoid talking on the phone or socializing in general; this arose from many past experiences in life. One particular example was when I was conscripted. During this period, I bore the brunt of the absolute worse that humanity (I’m being generous calling them humans, but I’ll bite) can dish out. I was ridiculed, criticized, alienated, you name it. I tried my best in everything I did, but when you get the reactions I got during my time in conscription, youll get the perspective that it’s better to just avoid doing things difficult on yourself. Plain and simple. So it’s not just a matter of “choice”. Even if we pulled through and did them anyway, would they be worth it? Would you be willing to hear disgusting remarks even when you’re doing the best you can? I’d rather not. I value my mental well-being. Even if I really wanted to try doing something, I just had to accept my limitations, and regretfully let my colleagues assist me. Have a good day, friend. I did not mean to offend you in any way, I just wanted to argue my points.
