What an absolute asshole interviewer! SMH, fuck that guy. I'm very sorry that happened to you, but like others have recommended, definitely call out this company on social media and leave them bad reviews. Having a disability should NOT deter you from getting a job you are perfectly qualified for. I've worked on owning who I am and embracing my differences, and ironically enough, I actually stutter less than I did when I was younger because I believe that the more attention you give to stuttering, the worse it is. It IS possible to stutter less, but there is no such thing as "100% fluency." My goal nowadays is to stutter less and be more confident, but also to give myself grace when I DO stutter. Even people who don't have a stutter still stutter at times, so it's all about being realistic. I'd say keep on trying and know your value in the world- it's easier said than done I know, but I have a stutter and a job so it's possible! Ok sorry for the novel lmao I'm done now
