For the few that cannot work, I agree those stutterers should get benefits so they can afford to live. If it’s only because you don’t want the chance of someone mocking you at work, that’s not really ...

Having a severe stutter can absolutely cause you to not be a productive member of society. It can cause anxiety, isolation, depression. Just because you and i can handle it dont expect that of everyo...

There are people who are both stutterers and ugly though. So your logic is a little bit strange. I'm luckily not in the US and I'd honestly say that fuck US. It seems to be a shithole of the wild ca...

Disagree. Why should someone who is able to be a productive member of society receive disability benefits? Everyone has burdens they carry. Stuttering is a tough one. But I don't see why a person wit...

If you can find a job making 1470 a month, you are considered gainfully employed and do not qualify for diability. That's about 17k. Which is very little in US and you can not live alone on that. So ...

I'm not in the US. In my country, the criteria isn't being able to work a job. Your disability rate has to be %40 to get minimum disability benefits. And disability rate of severe stuttering is %30. B...

Severe Stuttering is a Disability - A Call to an Action

Severe Stuttering is a Disability - A Call to an Action Severe stuttering is a legitimate disability and should be regarded as such. A severe stutterer, after completing at least one round of speech-l...

It should have helped you galvanize against the discrimination and injustice you (and all the rest of us by extension) were victimized by. Rosa Parks didn’t go to the back of the bus, but you kind of ...

Like I said, because I value honesty and I don't feel like we should punish people for it. I could have been dismissed for anything as a lie if they knew about that you can't reject a hiree on this gr...

I like where your heads at but the two don’t exactly coincide lol. Your friend got hurt and was paid accordingly based on damages and liability. If OP were in the US he could definitely sue the compan...

Thanks for the specific law, but I tend to stick to my belief. The employer could have easily dismissed me on a lie of any skill that he found to be imperfect with me and I would have wasted time tryi...

*Since 2003 the Act on equal treatment on the grounds of disability or chronic illness is in force in the Netherlands. This Act establishes that discrimination on disability and chronical illness is p...

Netherlands, not sure if there are such laws here, but even if so I'm still kinda glad that they were honest with me. If there is a law preventing this, they would probably come up with a different ex...

Hey, if you’ve got this in an email and you’re in the US. Contact a lawyer and sit back while you become a potential millionaire....

Are you in the US? It is illegal to discriminate against disabilities and deny a job based on such disabilities...

I feel not just TOEFL, but every English proficiency test is a scam. I don't know why you would be required to take a 2-hour test when indeed the entire. schooling used English as a first language. ...

On top of that I feel like TOEFL is such a scam. Their speaking test does not even check communication ability. IRL nobody has to speak continuously for a minute on a discussion they just got introduc...

Yeah that is a bit hard to get with TOEFL I think in comparison to IELTS. I got 24/30, which is fine considering some days I cannot even say my own name. But TAship cut off is 25/30 which may be a pro...

I understand you, ask TOEFL if they provide any accommodation IELTS offers accommodation for speaking (giving speaking exam on your own + get more time to speak). If PTE is accepted, it's much easi...

I’ve gotten a promotion to a manager at my job. If they claim you’re nervous then just tell them you have a disability. At that point if you’re qualified and they don’t hire you then you could probabl...
