I think there probably was when I first started, but only because of my attitude, not my stutter. I spent a lot of energy doubting myself & being pissed off at the fact that I was selected to be an MTI (it's a temporary 3.5 year duty), so naturally it probably affected how others viewed me. I felt like I had no business being there because I stutter & I could never be effective in that type of role. After getting my head out of my ass, embracing the situation, & flipping my attitude around, absolutely not. This job doesn't suit my strengths whatsoever & has been extremely difficult for me to adapt to, but I've demonstrated that I can do it. I feel like people recognize that a lot of things don't come easy to me, but I'm still able to push through & be just as effective as anyone else. TL;DR, any perceived lack of respect has nothing to do with my stutter, but my attitude & how I conduct myself around my limitations.
