Do you mean in the legal sense? Like if employers have to accommodate it? Based on this, it seems yes. [https://employmentdiscrimination.foxrothschild.com/2014/04/articles/federal-state-local-laws/...

I'd say yeah - it does the things a disability does, it others people and it allows barriers to be put up in someone's way. Legally I'm not too sure, but culturally yeah...

Help I'm at the point in my life where I feel worthless and like I have no one. My mom says to go away and figure out how to stop stuttering when I try to talk to her. I might be getting disqualified ...

Yes it was in the US, don't know when those rules came around but this was about 16 years ago now. It was a small school (graduating class of about 400) so the only options were Spanish or French. I w...

That is awful! And if you’re in the US it’s illegal too. The school is required to provide you with reasonable accommodation (perhaps a private test, extended time, or alternative extra written test)....

So far nobody had really told me my stutter could stop me, even when they do im usually too confident for that assumption to stick. Also there are laws to stop that going down ;D...

If communication and presentation is one of a key attributes you need for a job (world leader in this case) then of course stuttering will make it almost impossible, but that doesn't mean that other i...

Ill listen to this video later. Stuttering is a nightmare problem. Is isolates you at every front, its a deeply misunderstood disability, science is entirely in the dark about it. Might as well have t...

He was a college professor when he was granted disability. It progressively got worse to the point he felt like he couldn't effectively communicate his lesson. Yeah perhaps he could have worked in som...

It is covered under the "disability" umbrella in the USA. I even know someone who went on disability due to his stutter. He was an engineer and college professor for 30 years prior to going on disabil...

Some places like VA can fire you for “any” reason such as a stutter, I suggest looking into the laws of your area...

Hi I have taken IELTS recently and although my stutter is pretty bad usually I managed to go through the speaking part fluently. I gotta say the guy was super profesional even giving me hints with han...

This is a stupid exclusion criteria. For every study on women who stutter they are >10 on men who stutter, what is your real reason for excluding women? Be honest. Because this data is useless unle...

Ah, that is an important distinction. I understand what you’re saying. In that case, yes legally it is a disability. And there are certain cases it is useful to claim it as one too. Thanks for the cla...

>u/ziggyjoe212 , I know the point you are trying to make and I agree with you fullheartedly. I’m not sure why you are being downvoted. Because OP asked if it is legally a disability, not if he vi...

Yes, the ADA. Yes, it probably was your stutter. But can you prove it? I’ve thought about going down this road a couple times in my professional career, but in the end I never have because I know it...

Yes, it is classed as a disability in the UK and I think also in the USA. This is definitely discrimination but the question is whether you want to take them to court over it. If I were you I would ...

It's also ignorant that you think your own view alone decides if it's a disability or not. While you might not see it as one, your potentially employer might and can use this as reason not to hire you...

Having a stutter is normal. Lots of people have lots of different things that affect them. Some people have asthma, depression, bad eyesight, etc. Yes sometimes it is easier to hide our stutters but...

Legally it is in the USA. First of fuck those people to death. Tell people you trust what happened. I'm sorry you went through that but truth is, you don't want to work for them if that was the respon...
