Also to add to this, we do everything we can to make sure our child knows that stuttering isn’t a big deal. It’s just a different way of talking. We never interrupt him. We never laugh at him, we give...

Do what works for you. Personally, and with the guidance of my speech therapist, I have brought it up. I usually start my introducing myself then mention I stammer to avoid any awkwardness. After tha...

Yep. Don’t give up and don’t turn down speaking opportunities. Just tell people you have a stutter upfront and forget about what people think. What matters is that you speak your mind, not that you sp...

Tell people up front. Take all the mystery and stigma away. It’s not a cure but it sure helps—especially if you buy the theory, as I do, that stuttering is what we do to avoid stuttering. Also, it mi...

Do what works for you. My first lead interview when fine but my second one was horrible with me stuttering and blocking. At my current position I told them that I have a disability and that’s ok for m...

I usually make my stutter a talking point in the interview. Like if they ask you about times you have overcome adversity or anything like that. Just use your stutter as an example of how you overcome ...

In my experience, revealing that i have a stutter takes the pressure off to speak fluently and appear normal lol....

I always mention it at the beginning and say I'm just nervous, and that it tends to make it more obvious 😊 they tend to reassure me and it breaks the ice. Successfully interviewed many times! I say g...

I had a job interview pretty close to 2 years ago. Interview went well , didn’t really have any issues. at the end they asked if I had any comments or questions for them. Told them I had a stutter tha...

I have stuttering issues all my life and have cracked multiple interview. Do whatever makes you comfortablein yourself. Sufferring from a neurological issue is not easy. If telling the panel that you...

Please don’t let your stutter control some of the best years of your life. Please work through it. If a woman really likes you, she won’t care and will look past it. Be confident and bold when talking...

I completely agree that it really does need to start being seen as a disability. Sometimes I feel like my life would be so much easier if I was mute and didn’t have the expectation to talk. With a stu...

It's a good fun fact to bust out to put both you and the group you're with at ease. I'll try my best to just talk, but once I start losing my mind I'll just stop and be like "fun fact, I have a stutte...

I do so, but tactfully and matter of factly. Don’t wait until you start to struggle. You don’t want it to seem like something you are sharing as an excuse or even a shield. It’s just something you wan...

I typically tick any box that says I have a disability, ask for extra time for my stutter, or if not an idea of the interview questions or topics beforehand.  And I additionally say at the start of ...

Disclosing it up front. Like others have said, it lets the employer know about you. In addition to that, it also gives you a chance to know about the employer whether they value your ability to perf...

Yea, that's what i feel that disclosing is transparent, honest, and like owning it. It's not very severe, just minor hiccups, but that tends to increase my tempo overall as I'm busy to finish the lin...

It depends on the severity of your stutter. If you believe it may be a deciding factor then disclose it. They’re going to find out anyway. Disclosing shows confidence, and self awareness. Did your e...
