That they fall in love, and then they become magically 'fluent' around their partner. You know, because they feel so at ease in their company... As if they only ever stuttered because they were anxiou...

This is cliche obviously, but it's only going to get in the way if you let it. Stutterers in all varying degrees have had success in all careers. I personally know people with prominent stutters as...

Thank you. What I do in interviews is that I always disclose that I have a stutter at the beginning of the interview after they ask their first question. Reliefs a lot of the tension. Best of luck!...
