Compulsory military service might come back where I live, can I get disqualified because of my stutter?

Compulsory military service might come back where I live, can I get disqualified because of my stutter? In my country (and also in other countries I believe) they want to bring compulsory military ser...

If your life is good enough that you can have and raise good children, you must. Your stutter, or whatever condition someone has, might make things uncomfortable. But if it doesn’t ruin their lives a...

Half of these traits, particularly being easy going, will get you further in social circles though. Please don’t take my post as any sort of message, I personally don’t believe in this stance of speak...

What you are suggesting is that people with disabilities shouldn’t have kids because their kids might have hard lives. Life is hard. Whether or not you have a disability. Sure people with disabilities...

That's a tough question. I've had speech therapy as a child, which didn't amount to very much. My stutter wasn't... /too/ bad, yet it conditioned me to stay quiet, and made me avoid social interaction...

If you need accomodations to make ordering food easier wouldn't that bolster the case that it's a disability for severe cases? A disorder is just a medical term....

Yes. I’m in University and I’m in the disability program because of my stutter. It’s great because it doesn’t specify the disability so I get loads of perks I don’t really need. Like extra time in e...

The way I see it, is that if stuttering inhibits your life in a noticeable way, then it’s a disability. Sometimes stuttering is moderate, and can be turned off just by taking a deep breath or calling ...

100% it is i agree. I mean at a certain point if we can't control our stutter(I always try my best to), then being good in other areas is what I ought to achieve :)...

The ability to communicate effectively is far more important than dressing well and walking confidently. This might be hard to accept for someone who stutters, but communication is crucial....

If you have a severe stutter and can almost never get your words out, then yes, it will be a turn-off for the other person. If you have a mild stutter or if you stutter from time to time, you honestly...

I think it depends on the severity. A couple of years ago I would consider my stutter a disability but i’ve gotten a lot better through just pushing myself to interact with people....

For me, it’s a disability. Literally. I want to say the word… I know how to say the word… but in many contexts I am unable to say the word. Lack the “ability” to speak fluently. We are lucky this is...

I don't. But it definitely is a handicap. Speech is one of the most important things in life. It's the number one thing that determines your success. That said, stuttering is fluctuating. It get's bet...

It depends on the person and the level of severity. If the stutter is relatively mild and it doesn’t get in the way of daily activities, then no. But in my case where I struggle with a severe stutter,...

Most people here are saying their own experiences and why it counts as disability. I'd like to add that the Americans with Disabilities Act considers stuttering a disability. But I still don't put i...

“A disability is any condition of the body or mind (impairment) that makes it more difficult for the person with the condition to do certain activities (activity limitation) and interact with the worl...

Yes Stuttering made me hate life. Never been able to do what normal people did and its affecting my life really bad. Having to take anti depressant pills just to be able to talk and interact with peop...

I think it's considered a neurodivergence as stuttering is shown on the DMS-V, because the stem is neuronal (the brain). But not a disability unless very severe...

Yes, it's listed as such be the Federal government. I claimed it and was awarded points for my federal job. I still would have gotten it, but every little bit helps....
