I love this! I’m a dental hygienist and have a wonderful career while having a stutter. In my operatory i have a cute sign that says, “I stutter, please be patient.” None of my patients, doctors, or other staff care that i stutter. In fact, my boss wants me to become the dental hygiene manager and lead! You can have a wonderful life with a stutter. Saying the opposite is like telling people who are missing an arm or leg that they can’t have fulfilling careers; it’s simply not true.
