I worked as a bank teller for several years with a very obvious stutter. Remember, communication is only like 7% of the words we use, the rest is tone, voice, body language. I was polite, generally ...

I see it as part of my job like any other part. When im explaining something to a new colleague, the only thing I care about is that they're understanding what im teaching them. So I frequently check ...

I envy you. There’s no way to avoid talking in IM. Lots and lots of talking. When my attendings call me out, its hard not to fall apart while I make up a presentation on the spot. But I think its made...

I just took a clinical preceptorship. I gotta herd a bunch of kiddos (undergrads) in a hospital every weekend and ensure they don't kill anyone. But, I am super stoked, fluency is off the charts right...

Nice! Got loads of respect for IM. I stuttered a bit during my IM internship especially when presenting cases during the morning meet. Ortho is super fun and very hands-on. We just point and grunt. Lo...

Hey doc! I’m gonna take a wild guess...ortho? I’m just a lowly IM myself. How bad is your stutter? Does ortho have an abundance of speaking opportunities? Most of the orthos I know are strong silent t...

All the time. The pain in the ass was my manager kept setting me up to "build my confidence". Nobody ever really reacted negatively but it always felt like an absolute marathon to get through. Usually...

Having a stutter and teaching someone at work is a nightmare

Having a stutter and teaching someone at work is a nightmare I have been put in charge of teaching a new colleague at work and I must say it's really challenging when you have a stutter. One of the im...

Full stack dev here. I just got promoted to tech lead, all "thanks" to my stutter 🤣 (stuttering led me to computers...). I would recommend you to aim for remote work as that would ease the social lif...

I work for a consulting firm focusing mainly on IT web development. Definitely stuttered in the interview but got the job. Still stutter in the job some but it rarely affects actually getting the work...

As long as you don’t focus on your own stutter no one else will either (as long as you can make yourself understood, which it seems like you aren’t having issues with). It doesn’t seem like you have ...

Designer / front end dev here. I was able to get through interviews and such without too much trouble. I just focused on having awesome work that speaks for itself instead of trying to sell myself ver...

I've been a web developer since around 2000. I've been working from home for the more than 12 years, which is frankly pretty awesome. I talk to coworkers almost every day, but only have to go on cal...

Much like sdouglas in another comment, I’m a (self taught) web designer, graphic designer, photographer/videographer, marketing guy, trainer/teacher. If it’s creative, I’m in, and have been lucky enou...

I’m a former web designer turned photographer! Most nerve racking thing for me was client presentations. Usually it was me and one or two colleagues though, so that definitely helped get me comfortabl...

Full stack dev here - you should be excited to be a skilled tech person in this day and age! Don't be nervous. The demand for us is insane. I've stuttered my whole life (i'm 27), with a traditional s...

Hey there! I'm a graphic designer/videographer/web designer and a person who stutters! I've always been into the arts but looking back to when I decided where I wanted to take my career, I'd be lyin...

I'm on the back end side of things but I've been a professional developer for over 13 years. I definitely stuttered during the interview but I mentioned that I was nervous and my speech is normally ...

Any web developers / designers who stutter?

Any web developers / designers who stutter? I’ve been stuttering since I hit puberty I guess, went though a really tough childhood around there and it’s been there since then. I’m a blocker primarily ...

I think there was a case involving stuttering as a disability in an employment context some years ago, but it went unresolved because the person couldn't prove it to the extent required by law. [htt...
