Your description of your son's stuttering sounds exactly how I would describe myself. For what it's worth, I am in my late 30s, have a good job, own a house, and am married with kids; i.e., life has turned out fine for me as a mild-moderate stutterer. I have no presumption that I will ever overcome my stutter, that's just the way my brain is defective. Regarding your interview concerns, what has helped me immensely is preparing extensively for them. Most people who stutter do not do well speaking spontaneously in a foreign environment with new people, as you have observed with your son. I research what questions are likely to be asked, and then practice saying answers aloud. I first practice by myself, then when I am comfortable I practice with my wife. The goal is to get to the point where it feels like you're *reading* an answer to the interviewer and giving an acting performance rather than having an uncomfortable conversation. He will probably always stutter when ordering food, when seeing a new barber, etc. That's just how life will be. People will take note of it, but view it more as something that breaks up the regular monotony of their lives, kinda like how encountering someone with bright pink hair breaks up the monotony of your everyday life - you take note and find it interesting, but not much else. People he spends a lot of time with, like friends and coworkers, will ask him about his stutter. To be honest, his stutter will impact his ability to meet new people and make new friends. It is what it is.
