Is stuttering considered a disability for landing a job? I'm a computer science student, and I've noticed that many job postings are labeled as "disability-friendly" or even specifically look for candidates with disabilities to meet certain quota requirements. I know the current job market is rough for programming and engineering students, but if having a slight advantage is possible, I might as well consider it. I was wondering whether stuttering is considered a disability in this context. Would it be possible for me to obtain a disability certificate, or am I overthinking this?
