haha no worries for misreading. i’ve been told that leaving a good impression is quite important as the course i’ve applied for isn’t the easiest to get on and there’s a lot of applications. what i’ll do is either email my tutor or just tell them right before the actual interview starts that i have a stutter and to just give me a minute to get my words out. as you said, they’ll know what to expect and won’t think “uhh is this kid okay?”. i’ve also had people think i was mentally disabled growing up because when i stutter i tend to involuntarily make weird faces. it sucks because apart from my stutter, i’d say i’m your pretty average 16 year old. having people look at me different for that one thing really does suck. thank you for your reply, it really does mean the most :)
