Danielle, You pose and interesting question. By definition, a disability is a condition caused by accident, trauma, genetics or disease which may limit a person's mobility, hearing, vision, speech or mental function. So a person who stutters, like me, has a disability. I don't find that statement offensive. However, am I handicapped. That is a different question. I would venture to say that some people who stutter are handicapped by the disorder while others are not.
