I completely agree and feel what you feel. Like biden said in his speech on stuttering (definitely watch it if you haven’t) - he said stuttering is the only disability that is still made fun of. And t...

If anyone makes fun of ur stutter, just think to yourself how they would react if one day they had the issues that we have. They probably couldn’t last a day before having a mental breakdown dealing w...

That’s my experience as well. They feel awkward so they don’t encourage any discussion. Maybe they’re afraid of offending me or something. I wouldn’t know what to say to a person with a different d...
