Life long stutter (40s) and never classified it as a disability employment or otherwise. I also have less severe than others as I can carry on a conversation it just takes me longer. Consider myself...

Legally it's a disability because it limits functionally one's life. However, I've accepted it and stopped fighting it. As for job interviews, I always self disclose and it has proven very effect...

Yeah I always start job interviews by saying up front “just so you know, I have a stutter. I’m not nervous or unsure or anything like that”. I find I’m much more relaxed during the interview after I s...

Do you consider stuttering a disability?

Do you consider stuttering a disability? Long time stutterer here, been stuttering for my (m19) whole life. I never fully defined it as a disability, however, but when applying for internships and job...

Oh that's a good advice, thank you. Letting them know beforehand, might reduce some sort of burden I guess. And that's awesome, congratulations on your new job :)...

About job interviews— they should be accommodating to people with disabilities. Just let the interviewer know beforehand that you have a speech impediment, and that it has nothing to do with your inte...

Holy shit dude that sucks I can’t say ever had to write out that I stutter....

Just tell the judge you stutter man. I’m a fed and I have to speak to criminals, judges, general public, attorneys all the time. It’s always nerve wracking but let them know first. Testifying is a p...

The same happened to me once too. :)) Geez. Don't overthink this situation in advance. It's not going to be as you think it is going to be. And yes, say that you stutter before....

Thats why i think you should disclose that you have a stutter before answering, so the judge would be expecting your stutter and will not see it as lying...

I feel like mentioning I have a stutter is gonna make me stutter more. The thing I’m scared of most is me stuttering and the judge thinking I’m lying to him...

I don't know how the process works, but when you're there before you answer amy questions just mention that you have a stutter and that you would need more time and that you'll probably stutter while ...

That's a really difficult question and depends on the situation. However, clinical data shows you will feel less anxious and people view you as higher status when you self disclose non-apologetically....

It has helped me to self disclose it but in a non-apologetic way. The more you try to hide, the more it will come up. If this is a deal-breaker for the person, then they are not worth your time. Once ...

I personally prefer to disclose it before a date to allow myself to be more at ease, so I don't have to deal with them discovering it in person. Everyone seemed to cool about me telling them, so I wou...

Just went on a date and told him beforehand about my stutter. I think the date went okay and he was really reassuring, but I completely understand. It just utterly sucks, but one day man you’ll find s...

In all fairness, I attended an intensive 1-week speech therapy program in New York City at the American Institute of Stuttering (AIS) which worked wonders for me. Their whole mantra is to incorporate ...

Hey man, can I ask you how you bring the speech upfront to the conversation during interviews? I have always tried to hide my condition in these situations, but I realized that it may make me more anx...

Hey man. Look...stuttering is hard. It's unfair. It's complicated and confusing and frustrating and sometimes even depressing. But hey, you can't let your stutter define you. Trust me when I say that ...

Literally just tell them. I've gotten my stutter to the point where I can avoid some words and it's largely unnoticeable, but if you think it's that bad make a lil joke out of it. It makes you comfort...
