I don't get how this applies. OP didn't say that they just think that they're being disrespected. they say that people actually say disrespectful things to them...
I don’t think it’s that. There are not many stutterers that most people interact with on a day to day. As a result, the pauses, blocking, and repetitions create space in a conversation that people are...
The best thing to do is overcompensate in our career and overachieve and make them look like idiots for doubting us. We turn into Michael Kidd gilchrist or Joe Biden and they won’t say shit again. Ob...

Ive been going to toastmasters for over 5 years now. You can try many clubs to see which one you like. Be radically honest, tell them that you've a stutter and you want to practice public speaking. S...
✔️Treat them like everyone else ✔️Ask them if they prefer texting, face to face, or phone ✔️ Don’t complete their sentences( it makes us even more anxious) as for me I hate when people say ( it’s ok; ...
I appreciate your effort. However, if my boss said something to me about my stutter on my first day, I’d want to crawl into a hole. One time I was presenting a training class, I stuttered, someone...
I love that you're asking this. I would say something to them in person so that the message isn't distorted and is crystal-clear. Emails or texts can sometimes give off a different message. Ask how...
Thank you everyone for your responses. I didn’t expect such traction, so it is really appreciated. They will be required to do a daily standup. But they mentioned during the interview that they did t...
Be patient Don't interrupt Dont t try and finish their sentences/words Don't treat them any different than your other employees But also, Don't put them in a difficult situation that exacerbates th...
You have a range of answers. In my last job, on my first day my manager asked if I would like to change the way I participate in a daily meeting. I thanked him for being flexible and turned down the o...
Treat them normal and be patient when they are speaking. It may be uncomfortable for you at first because it can be socially awkward if you are not used to it. But, be patient and give them your full ...

I HATE it when others point out my stuttering. Sometimes, people (anybody) would do it back to me whether it be “in good fun” or just straight up mocking me. Whenever that happens, I just look at them...
Thank you for asking! I think it's important to make the point strongly that if they have any issues, you are there to hear them. I say this from experience. Knowing my boss is open to hearing me an...
Bravo! Thank you for being so considerate. Just pull them aside and talk to them 1:1 and say if you need anything… I’m here… you get the picture. Definitely don’t bring it up unless they do!...
