Just recently discovered this thread and its interesting. To help with your question I would read from the menu. Focusing on the words made me speak clearly and be sure about what I was going to say...

I feel you. Im a graphic designer by profession and sometimes when i have to explain my ideas to my boss/client i get anxious. Luckily my team lead knows about my stutter and he completes my words whe...

Hello friend.  I’m a software engineer and have been at a place for about a year now. How do you handle circumstances when you just look like an absolute idiot and begin to feel incompetent despite n...

I don't stutter or stammer. I block all day every day on every sentence. Being called on in Teams, Webex, and Zoom calls usually results in me looking like I am an idiot who has nothing to contribute....

Oh yes, been there too. I'm a nervous wreck almost always, actually😂 Got a great job, though. When my boss started interviewing me, I immediately warned him about my stutter and asked to not to pay a...

When I was a student I took a weekend job teaching kids and teens to use Unity, I got recommended by a friend and I still remember after the first interview and of course me stuttering she told me som...

My example was a primarily speaking job though. You’re right though, luckily not all jobs require much speaking. That again goes back to knowing the role you want and making sure you’re a better cand...

#job I usually get to working late I guess I'll blame that on my ADHD. One night I got to work late and the person I take replace every night was mad this night. I get there and he's mad because I'm l...

I’ve accommodated myself by picking jobs that don’t require me to be extremely talkative or don’t place an immense amount of importance on speech. Why would you wanna go to work stressed everyday? T...

I’m sick of being unemployed but stuttering makes me look at bad interviews 😭...

Man I plan to join the Army but this stutter bro if it foxcs me over 🤦‍♂️...

Your example is literally employers holding it against you. I mean it’s reality and you have to deal with it, but at least call it what it is....

I think they look for other ques like how people handle adversity. I think the meaningful impact is what we do after a stutter bout. Honestly just smiling is so re-assuring that it gives a lot of pe...

I've been a Biomedical Tech at a large hospital for about three years now. Loads of talking to both staff and patients, but it is what it is. I find that as long as you're knowledgeable in the field y...

Like you said it would be hard to prove. That said, I don't think anyone is holding a stutter against us. It's all about who's better for the role. If myself and John Doe are both applying for the sam...

I think so I have had a few interviews for clerical administration and entry level accounts where during the interview the look horror and just couldn’t wait to get rid of you and to not hear anything...

Proving this would be nearly impossible unless irrefutable proof emerges, ie. an email that says “we can’t hire this person for this role for no other reason than they stutter.” And this is pervasive ...

Do employers silently discriminate against people who are speech disabled?

Do employers silently discriminate against people who are speech disabled? We all know that companies cannot discriminate by law on the basis of a disability (as well as age, sex, religion etc etc). B...

When I was 17 I got a job at Taco Bell thinking they’d stick me in the back making food. Nope, they stuck my ass on the cash register, I was scared af at first but looking back it made me practice all...
