As someone in a clinical psychology graduate program, I doubt there's a connection. Both conditions are diagnoses in the DSM but one is an anxiety disorder (OCD) and stuttering is not, although stutte...

I would say as a generalization- yes it is. I mean it disables us from clear and fluent communication and impedes us from speaking altogether at times. Whether it is a psychological or physical disabi...

If we're dealing with something terminological/definitional here, it'd depend on that specific context. But outside of that, I'd absolutely say that stuttering is a disability. It's just not certain ...

I have a severe stutter and for me it is. The severity doesn't always say much about whether it's a disability or not. A mild covert stutterer with a lot of speech anxiety can class it as disability t...

Thanks for the response. That was my understanding before I created the post, but I wasn't quite sure how the law saw it. As an engineer, I hope I never have to bring up this law or use it to protect ...
