Stutter Social

I recently read an article about an online chat that bring people with speaking disabilities together. They talk about their stories, experiences and some of their coping techniques. This is an amazing way for them to communicate and reassure each other that they are not alone.
In society, people are isolated because they are different. We need to realize that they aren't much different. It's not a big deal that they can't speak properly, or don't understand basic concepts; they are still people.
A stutter can be very embarrassing, especially when you are trying to make a point and all people hear is the stutter. People laugh, criticize, and judge because of a stutter; its like being bullied all over again.
