Don’t worry about the job thing. Maybe try to get a position where you don’t have to talk as much. I’ve started a new job not to long ago, and I haven’t had major problems in regards to my stutter....

It's as true as you make it... If you're making your life decisions based on the fact that you have a stutter, you're crippling yourself. But certainly not disqualified from being a dentist or a phy...

Yeah but I don’t think that is always true. What if it’s time to choose careers and you are thinking about becoming a dentist or a physician. I do not think they are good because me require good commu...

Funding Support for PWS Hello everyone. I am sorry to digress but I had a situation last week where I was invited to do a business pitch for my business so that it can be selected for funding. I did 2...

I've learnt that people are generally much less judgmental than we think. While we may be embarrassed or feel humiliated by our stutter, others may not notice it and even if they do, they are acceptin...

I’m a current SLP grad student who stutters (male). I believe people who stutter can thrive in just about any occupation but not everybody is suited to be a therapist or work in healthcare. Like what ...

Because I can't even do basic adult things. It freaks me out and makes me feel guilty. I can't say what my profession is without blocking the words. I've to start feeling confident to feel better. Th...

I understand how you feel. I'm 29 now and I was in your position at around... 18-20. I was terrified to get my permit/drivers license. Terrified to get a job. The only reason it happened was because m...

Unfortunately, not. My centre closed down shortly after this. I now work in retail, and it hasn't really improved my stutter, but it does feel better not having to speak for every second of my shift....

Wow, any updates? I’m going through this right now. I’ve been at my call center for almost a year now and while the first couple of months were rough, I was still able to manage my stutter for 6 month...

Sure I get that. It's not the judgement that I'm scared of. I have done interviews where the interviewer was cool and also said that he'd pass me to the next round. But I was not able to demonstrate ...

What kind of a job was it though? If its a customer-facing job, I can imagine whyh you'd need to show talking skills. But if its a technical job that involves specific knowledge, you need to go into f...

I get that it would be WAY easier with a keyboard, and WAY faster. In my opinion though, using a keyboard puts a barrier in that 'face to face' scenario. This is how I usually go about it. First t...

Not knowing how to handle this

Not knowing how to handle this Being a teacher with speech blocks is such a difficult task. Especially, teaching English, it's impossible to go on in the midst of so many people who don't have any iss...

No need to limit yourself to using a keyboard to get your points across, you have a voice regardless of your stutter. You don’t wanna show a weakness before you even get the job, you need to imagine i...

I think a good place to start is by looking at what you're good at and/or enjoy learning about. I turned my hobby of working on cars into a job for a few years until I burned out from a particularly a...

Hi there. I’m 26 years old . In Ukraine, I have not yet met a single woman who would not say that she does not care about my stuttering and that she thinks it is cute. I was on different parties wh...

I have given lots of presentations and training classes. A few things help me: knowing the material (I usually practice 10 to 20 times), anticipating questions....
