Totally agree; we should have more options. Anyone with a disability should! So sorry you lost your job. That seems like a total overstep by them asking for that information, too. I'm roughly 10 years older than you, and I feel for you. When I was approaching my 30s, I hated my job. It was a very small company (5 people) and I was in a leadership role. I didn't feel respected, was taken advantage of, you name it. What started off as a great job that I loved, turned into something that I HAD to get out of. It took me 2 years to get the courage to do so, and go out and start my own thing. In terms of that therapist, I'd seriously consider reporting them. That's not right. As someone who has struggled with the mental health effects of stuttering, I'm honestly shocked at their response. You've gotten the short end of the stick way too many times, and you deserve a win for sure.
