I hear you, we have our super cringe worthy embarrassing moments as stutterers (and non-stutterers). I've definitely been looked at like my IQ is 2 and am making involuntary movements that are loud, exaggerated, and offensive ... or maybe that's how it felt at the moment. As a stutterer my contact with other stutterers is quite limited. In fact throughout my 29 years I've only met 1 outside of my family. I think it's rare to experience another's stutter ...and people typically aren't prepared. I'm sorry to hear your co-workers laughed and made jokes. I've been made fun of and didn't know how to handle myself in those situations, and definitely didn't know how to cope with my feelings afterwards. I tend to take a f*** em approach - this isn't a negative approach and I'm not telling anyone to actually f*** off. Rather, any reaction toward my behavior doesn't matter. If they laugh at me it's ok, if they look at me like I've just admitted to liking My Little Pony on an unnatural level it's ok, if they compliment me for doing a job well done it's ok. I also think the best way to overcoming a stutter, or a laugh, or a look, is to embrace it and self-deprecate. I think self-deprecation is key to diffusing an uncomfortable situation. Laugh at yourself, crack a joke (about yourself), and f*** em.
