I always thought until now that it was officially considered a disability (in Canada at least, where we are eligible for the disability tax credit). I've been thinking about this a lot and what make...

[I've said this same thing before here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/1if8aq9/stuttering_is_a_disability_and_im_tired_to/) I think a big reason why people don't see stuttering as a disab...

Dude, living in reluctant acceptance all this time... It would be totally sweet to have the healthcare field do something for us all.  It actually makes me feel a lot better that legit medical docto...

Does it make you feel superior that I stutter and you don’t? Im happy for you. Or “yes,I stutter”. What’s your problem?” Note: I’m a speech therapist, I don’t stutter and I’m trying to educate my...

I totally agree. I would consider stuttering as a disability due to the fact that it does effect every aspect of your life. The biggest issue I find is that we look normal so people assume we can perf...

Stuttering is a disability.

Stuttering is a disability. Just a disclaimer, I am a stutterer who has been severely affected by my stutter and I am not using the word disability in a bad way. So stuttering isn't officially labe...

Or you could get your larynx removed, and you would never stutter again...

is this going to be about some line dividing acceptance or not? everybody should feel accepted. every time someone wants to say "acceptance is bad because x, y, and z." they should be required to pay...

This is discrimination. If you live in the United States, I’m not sure about other countries but it IS considered a disability here....

i think a huge issue is that people, even amongst stutterers (usually ones with mild stutters) argue if anyone says it’s a disability, which it is. i really appreciate your comment and insight! i thin...

How is it evil? Although stuttering has a genetic component it doesn’t necessarily mean that your child will definitely stutter, there’s just a higher chance. And having a parent who stutters could ac...

No, it’s a literal disability by the ADA….all speech impediments are disabilities by the ADA. A disability is anything that negatively affects major aspects in life more than the average person. Since...

I love stuttering, it makes you stronger than everyone else in the room. Own it!

I love stuttering, it makes you stronger than everyone else in the room. Own it! Lol, thought you was about to read some positive stuff about stuttering? You see, from all the years that I've been lur...

Now this goes against my previous post…labeling as a DISORDER vs. Disability but next time your boss or employer begins laughing at you…try and verbalize the ADA put into law 07/26/1990! Here’s inform...

Simon, Stuttering IS NOT HAVING A DISABILITY! You have a DISORDER!...

Ahh I see. This is an issue of semantics. In my world we refer to developmental stuttering or “typical” disfluencies, which children typically grow out of, as one thing. Then atypical disfluencies are...

Correct me if I am wrong, but you have developmental and non developmental stuttering. Developemental stuttering...occuring during childhood and non developmental would be more along the lines of a b...
