So where I come from, they are not kind to people with disabilities or different in anyway. In low brow media there, stutters are a stock clown character. So yes, people will think I’m retarded or being a clown. When I was a kid, I’d go outside to malls and talk to people behind counters, those grown ups would be like “talk normal what’s wrong with you?” And would treat me really rudely. When I just started to stutter my mom didn’t believe I couldn’t help it, she thought I was pretending it to ask for her attention. And when she finally admitted I have a stutter, she tried to scream my stutter away, saying stuff like this. Even now, every now and then she will blurb out something really fucked about my stutter, the woman doesn’t think before she speaks.
