Yeah, it's like I don't think I should be labeled as disabled because I can still do so much. I don't think I'm "worthy" of that title....

Interesting read! I’m not sure which I have now. I’ve definitely got something. The thing is, I don’t speak very fast - on the contrary, I can hardly get a word in edgewise because I’m too slow about ...

Brave to post your challenge, but actually stuttering as a fluency disorder is not characterized as stereotypical only stuttering initial consonants. Your stuttering is quite normal and typical. There...

Concerning your last point: have you ever looked into 'cluttering'? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluttering I repeat partial words, but that's because sometimes I get stuck on a consonant later ...

A disorder, maybe? I mean come on people, being in a wheelchair is a disability, stutterers can do everything disabled people can't. More optimism!...
