Stuttering

"The stutterer's voice is the central focus of The King's Speech and a good part of the reason, I suspect, the movie has achieved its outsize resonance. This is because the stutterer's voice points toward a paradox of verbal culture: Language was born of a need to communicate orally and in the moment, and yet, at its most influential, language is so little dependent on spontaneous speech that even someone permanently stymied on that front—a stutterer—can eke out a message that commands a nation." - Nathan Heller


STTA. Stuttering is one of any number of disabilities that is not immediately visible. Reflect on the different ways we react to disabilities that are clearly visible and those that are partly or largely hidden.
