[I've said this same thing before here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/1if8aq9/stuttering_is_a_disability_and_im_tired_to/) I think a big reason why people don't see stuttering as a disability is because it's not an immediately apparent one visually. You can't possibly know if someone is a stutter just by looking at them, and the fact so many people still push for "Oh just be more confident" line as if it's a personal failure.
