Do you disclose your stutter to people you meet? I've heard a lot about people who when they meet people, they'll let them know that they have a stutter. I personally don't do this when I first meet p...

I work in academia and I mostly include a bullet point on stuttering in an about me slide like you (or "transparency" slide). I try to make it a bit fun, like "it's not a brain freeze, I stutter ;)" b...

I think that disclosing your stutter can improve it significantly. Since you don’t have to hide it + when you stutter you know they know you stutter already. The fear of stutter in front of people who...
