To be a disability legally it doesn’t mean you can’t do something entirely necessarily. It means you are substantially impaired from one of the basic functions in life. One of which is speaking. For l...

it's not only that a person might hide it, it's also that the symptom could be literally invisible. By this I mean a silent block, where the words physically cannot come out due to what feels like a w...

Yes, I can still speak too, but in certain, stressful, anxiety provoking situations, I stutter. I still classify myself as having a disability though....

But I mean for me, I'm still able to speak. I just don't like stuttering in front of other people. Do you think that still counts?...
