This is definitely good advice. Once you're comfortable stuttering with people that know you (and know you stutter), the next step is to go out and try it with complete strangers, like employees at a ...

Did you tell her you have a stutter? If not, she probably picked up on it by the end. People don't care as much as we think, I've found....

Honestly I disagree with this comment aside from the message part.. If OP wants to highlight their stutter go for it but it's not about OP and their stutter.. It's about the Bride and the Groom. As si...

At least you're surrounded by friends and family who will be understanding. If you're not comfortable joking about it you can briefly just mention it at the start...

This is the way to go. Get it out first thing. Let everyone know what's going on, and then at least people will know how to react. One could even joke about it "Feel free to take a sip when I get stu...

One thing that helps is just telling people that you know that you have a stutter so in future they know what to expect...

Simply tell them that you stutter and you need a little extra time to say what you need to say....

The more I stuttered openly to people —including baristas, cashiers, telemarketers, colleagues, strangers in general — the more I received positive feedback from them. The key was mentioning that I s...

I sometimes say that i am anxious or that i stutter ......

Hi, I’m a female who stutters but neither of my 2 kids stutter. There is a genetic component sometimes but literally no one else in my extended family stutters either. There is no way to predict it. B...

Agreed! In work and academic environments people are already less likely to listen to women and more likely to interrupt them. Not only have I had to learn how to speak more fluently, but I’ve had to ...

I just disclose this because as a POC, people might think I have limited language abilities. Also, I need to work with them, how long can I hide it from them.....

Also just throwing in that i don’t think it’s essential to disclose a stutter. No worries about this. It should be obvious, unless the people are especially dumb, in which case you wouldn’t want to wo...

Yeah, I did and yes, the panel was understanding my condition but still I feel I didn’t do my best and might not be considered for this job. I usually disclose this every single time and mostly peop...

Did you disclose your stutter at the start of the interview? Doing this usually helps the panel understand what's going on. I usually start off by saying something along the lines of "I'm sure you can...

Yes.. stuttering is not a fun experience for either sexes. I am not dismissing the female experience but I understand why a guy will argue that stuttering is worse for men than women. The "burden" soc...

I haven’t but I’ve seen others who stutter get married and have kids. What helps me most is when meeting new people is disclosing my stutter up front and letting the chips fall where they may. I als...

I think so. I always request extra time during timed interviews on account of a disability. Only one company asked for a letter of verification from my doctor, which was easy to obtain....

Inform the interviewers at the start that you have a 'medical' condition of stammering, so you take some additional time to explain things. Be confident, focus on your skills more instead of communica...

Same age, same position just a different mindset, what I did was practice, practice and practice. I was so much angry on my situation but I don't wanna waste my life regretting so I choosed working fo...
