Crazy me coming across this cause I literally went through this two weeks ago when I had to interview for a job too! You described a lot of what I went through as well. It was birthday last week and I...

I prefaced I had a stutter with my last two jobs I got and 100% recommend. Not telling them leaves a lot of room for interpretation of me being nervous or not confident in my answers, as you know. Tha...

Stuttered throughout the whole interview. Still got the offer. I won't write a wall of text about my life story, the job, or the company. I just wanted to share this to hopefully give some of you hope...

Heya! Currently in speech therapy and stutter has improved DRASTICALLY in less than 6 months. Even gave a presentation last week to a class of ~50 people, of course I stuttered here and there but nev...

Stuttering seems like drunk driving? That’s a new one. Exaggerating much! I live in a conservative red state with racist cops all around. I’ve been pulled over quite a few times. Yes I have stutte...

I love this. I have a 'stutter' card that basically tells them I stutter and what they can expect when communicating with me. Thankfully I haven't had to provide it yet. I have a couple in my wallet....
