A personal opinion can be wrong if it's based on misinformation. Even if your country does not personally acknowledge stuttering, it's still a recognized disability elsewhere. Stuttering is a neurolog...

As long as you keep playing disability olympics, our suffering won't end and you'll still wonder why people don't take this disorder/disability seriously. A person that is missing one is clearly in a...
