commentr/StutterMarch 31, 2024

Content

Yea I do. I have other disorders, ADHD and NVLD which I've been diagnosed for. If I have just had stuttering, I would still say I have a disability since mine can get severe, especially at a new job or when I have bad days or tired. I would disclose because I wouldn't want to hide my stutter or feel shame for it. Plus maybe I could potentially get support for it. If the employer wants to verify it, I can just provide a referral to my past speech therapists.
