Pamela, I think you answered your question. Yes... you are correct... It should be your choice. I think the advice is simple to determine, but hard for some to carry out. The employee needs to explain to their boss, that although the boss views stuttering as a disability they do not feel disabled by their own communication impairment, and therefore are requesting that he stop telling others that they are disabled. Even though I felt quite disabled myself, I would never have wanted my boss saying I was disabled. Another thing.... I would first tell the boss in person, but if it happens again, I would send an email and request that he respond to my email. Then if he continues to mention I was disabled, I'd have information his superior to look at.
