Do you consider your stuttering a disability if you are high functioning? I know the ADA classifies stuttering as a disability when it’s severe enough to impact daily life. But for those of you who stutter and still function really well—do you personally see your stutter as a disability? I’m pretty high-functioning myself, but I still feel like it’s a disability. I just don’t usually say that out loud because it hasn’t stopped me from being successful, even though it’s definitely been a major hurdle throughout my life.
