Yeah me too, I have it in my CV and my LinkedIn. I'm working on my self acceptance and openly standing to it is an important step for me. If they have a problem with it, they won't invite me to an interview and we don't waste each other's time, because I surely don't want to work at a place that has issues with my stuttering. I also say it at the start of the interview, so they don't misinterpet my stuttering or don't think I have a medical emergency. It's much better than having to awkwardly explain myself that I'm really alright and it's just a really bad block. Also it frees mental capacity that I would normally waste by subconsciously trying to hide my stutter, so that I can fully concentrate on what I actually want to say. Of course it all depends on what somebody feels comfortable with, but I found clearly communicating it from the start the best option.
