> There are plenty of jobs you can do with out having to talk. Sure, I'll do data entry for the rest of my life. Or maybe I would be lucky enough to find a job somewhere in a backroom loading boxes in a truck or something. If I could do that for the rest of my life that would just be perfect. Oh and relationships? I guess they're not for me; I don't know, or maybe I can just do EVERYTHING over the internet. Hell, I could get married over the internet and only communicate with my SO over IM or something. The worst part is that a lot of us have such low self esteem from being beaten down every day by this disorder that we feel discrimination towards is justified. That's the big difference between this and other disorders. There is no major "stuttering rights" movement and there probably never will be.
