Ah. Well, I for one tend to mention it IRL too. The more we talk about it, the more likely it is to spread in general. Not that stutter necessarily needs to be a common topic, but I like to at least i...

First post, seeking advice

First post, seeking advice Hello stuttering friends. This is my first post here; I just wanted to share my experience/ask for some advice. So. I am 21 and in college. When I was young, my stutter was...

I've come to find that it's best to tell whoever you're with about said stutter from the get go, that way you both know what it is when it happens, and if it happens to me I usually just try to laugh ...

I work in journalism and have for 5+ years now, at several community newspapers. No one interviewing me for a job has ever brought up my stutter, even when I did phone interviews and stuttered very ...

Think you're right and that was my instinct too. Better just to be a "silent" role model than call attention to it....

If you want to raise it with him I'd suggest waiting until the end. So it avoids setting the tone for the duration of the interview. ...

I explained to them that I stutter, and will block on a word sometimes. When that happens, please do not finish my sentence or words for me. I also explained that side conversations tend to distract ...

I teach world history, and I have a stutter. There are many times where I can't substitute a word, because I specifically need to use that word, so I'll just have to take a deep breath and ease it out...

It's one of the first things I talk about with any new class. 1. My name. 2. I stutter. 3. How you should deal. I believe that people react better when they know what's going on. It's not my job to ...

Thank you for that. If you've been doing it for 18 years, that's inspiring and surely I can as well. Are you a fan of making it known that you stutter? Not necessarily to your students but to same age...

Great story, thank you. So if I read correctly, you didn't tell anyone beforehand in these programs about your stuttering? You surely didn't hide it and told them when asked. I'm just wondering, becau...

Wow thanks ! I also started stuttering around 7 years old. And yes, I will definitely be upfront with my pediment (my stuttering is simply too obvious to hide anyways hahaha). I'm planning to mention ...

The way you carry yourself goes a LONG way in regards how other people perceive you, despite speaking with a stutter. Disclose and explain the stutter, yet be confident about it. If it doesn't bothe...

Evening or uhm morning? I'm a doctor and have been stuttering since I was about 7years old. With regards to med school and interviews. In my experience it would be best to be upfront about your imp...

I don't agree; acknowledging that you stutter is better that trying to pretend it's not there. I don't mean making a big deal out of it, but saying nothing is almost always worse in a situation like ...

I mention it in interviews, but not on my resume. "Something I'm aware of and working on, and I'm happy to say I've made significant progress. It's on my mind often but I'm always improving." In my mi...

Personally, I wouldn't. I usually explain it quickly in the interview when it comes up on its own. If you have a very severe stutter though I could see mentioning it in the cover letter. ...

I dont mention it in my resume but it is a good answer to the question of "what's one of your flaws'. Casually mention that you stutter and that you're always trying to improve your speech. You coul...

Giving compliments to strangers or people I don't know well. If I stutter while delivering the compliment I've realized that some people don't hear it as genuine, because a sound wasn't easy for me to...

I face a similar problem and always mention it beforehand. Most women don't seem to mind and the ones that do aren't compatible with me....
