I would say I have a disability, but am not disabled. Stuttering doesn't define me but is a small part of who I am. I wouldn't collect government disability, that'd be ridiculous unless it was really ...

It makes you more empathetic and patient. My stutter is invisible. People can't see it immediately unlike, say, a wheelchair. They don't know who I am, what I'm going through whenever I talk. So, I do...
