Catch them after a class and tell them, it'll be hard of course and you'll look like a fool at first but in the end they'll get the idea. Hopefully they'll be considerate towards you in class in futur...

Right from the beginning, after exchanging greetings, pleasantries and chit chat. When they start the interview by asking the first question, that's when I do it. I say something like, "Before we ge...

You know I’ve been thinking of doing this in interviews. Just disclosing it at the beginning instead of struggling so much because I want to hide my stutter so bad. Let’s see how it goes. ...

I usually don’t but I will take this on board, that’s some good advice. Do you just straight up tell them from the beginning, or once you begin to stutter a bit?...

I’m a sophomore in high school. I emailed my teachers, telling them I had a stutter, and said if they had any questions, I could talk with them in person. This way, they already knew I had a stutter, ...

I think this should be on you. I mean, it certainly can help. I had professors in college that i self-disclosed to. But, i did that on a class-specific basis. I don’t think it’s reasonable to always d...

Curious if you disclose your stuttering at the beginning of the interview? I find that when I do, it actually helps me to relax because I'm not trying to hide anything. Also it makes things less awkwa...

I completely understand how that sort of thing of trying to parent or even just relate can be annoying. Personally if I pick up on something out of the ordinary about a person, I try to react in the m...

Yeah bro it’s all about confidence. I tell them I stutter usually a few minutes in if the topic comes up, but in a way where I show them it doesn’t bother me. And that’s that, none of them have seen i...

It's not embarassing. It's just a thing. Other things happen to other people too. There's no secret involved here. A stutter is just a stutter... and if your life is improved by informing the people a...

Do you think getting out ahead of it would be helpful? When you start to stutter or if people look at you confused when you're introducing yourself, you can say "yeah i have a stutter". If they laugh ...

The first thing I'd say is don't care. As hard as it is to just choose to 'not care', that's the optimal solution. If having a stutter doesn't bother you, it's not a problem. Anyway, I guess you proba...
