In China stutter is still diagnosed as a bad habit, not a disorder and let alone disability...dang it...

Japan has already legitimated stutter to be a disability and PWS can petition to the pensions and walfares from stutter. Nowadays the awarenesses of stutter being eventually a disability like deaf, bl...

I totally agree with you. I think stutter must be categorized into the disabilities since it's a recurring and untreatable handicap for the time being. So I can't figure out why stutter is not a disab...

Stuttering is a disability.

Well a prosthetic is just an expedient, not a permanent solution. If it weren't for far much higher prevalance of myopia, wearing glasses will also turn u into a laughing stock just like wearing prost...

It kind of makes sense. Stuttering and such don't impede us to the same degree as loss of sight, hearing, mobility, etc. But even with the more severe disabilities, companies don't make consideratio...

It’s possible that you’ll eventually stop stuttering but at age 22 your odds are very slim. Age 8-9 is a little late but definitely well within the age range a developmental stutter can manifest. Rega...
