How do I bring up my speech impediment during a job interview? I don't have a stutter (though I do stutter sometimes), but I have a rare speech impediment (Apraxia of Speech) and am also prone to freezing up a lot. This is the only active community that may be able to help. I have my first ever job interview at McDonald's, and I am terrified and completely lost. My impediment is obvious, so I want to bring it up quickly to get it out of the way, but I don't know how to? If the interviewer starts asking questions, it would be inappropriate to start talking about my speech impediment... but I don't want to be too assertive or accidentally cut them off by bringing it up as soon as I walk in the room either... My impediment is pretty mild now, but my spoken vocabulary is still a little limited (thus making me come off as an complete idiot). I'm scared that writing anything down will come off badly as well. Can anyone tell me how i'm supposed to approach this? Thank you.
