All right, military member here with a stutter. Have they told you that you need a waiver? Like have you been to MEPS and got shot down because you stutter? If not, just go through MEPS and do not s...

Wow, didn't know you needed a waiver for the army, was in from 91 to 96. Had no issues and I stutter bad, worked in s3 as ops specialist with s2 (Intel analyst). Breathe and be your self!...

I'm a pretty chronic stutter my self. My day job I work as a architect. For the most part it's just having to communicate with people in my office. But i also have to work with the clients. Sometimes ...

> There are plenty of jobs you can do with out having to talk. Sure, I'll do data entry for the rest of my life. Or maybe I would be lucky enough to find a job somewhere in a backroom loading boxe...

I would find a way to stay motivated. In my case, my stutter made me think I had to work harder and perform higher in school. I can't articulate my ideas for peers and professionals very well, but I...

They think I'm just shy, but other people like close friends know I stutter. It's extremely hard too, because I'm in the tech department, so I have to answer a lot of questions. Sometimes I'll even b...

My condolences. I am lucky enough to not have some dickhead standing over my shoulder but I still have to speak to some customers and make phone calls to the company. BTW does your employer know you h...

Exactly. Because like I said before, I'm getting "observation reports" because I don't interact with the customers. If I keep getting them, it's going to be a big issue. This will carry over even if I...

You can get SSI and go to school for free, earn your BA and participate in a disability program in the college that has internships for people with disabilities to get jobs. Had I found that out when ...

I HAVE A JOB. This was never about finding a job, but rather recognizing that stuttering is a disability. Whether you want to see it or not, people that stutter are disabled and because they are disab...

The current job market and economy is fucked in some areas and thriving in others. I just think almost everyone can come up with a reason why there worse off then other people. I worked really hard to...

There is nothing "normal" about not being able to communicate. We already went over that those jobs that don't require talking usually pay next to nothing and nobody can live on ten dollars an hour. M...

You are an ignorant human being. Most places if you don't get a job because you stutter, they can say it's some other reason. I'm actually about to lose my job because I don't interact with customer...

I was using gay to prove a point to you. I'm actually pretty lucky and live in the Myrtle Beach area, it's very gay friendly! Finding a full time job was the hardest thing I had to do. The interviews ...

I stuttered my whole life and still do. I've actually posted many other time in this subreddit. This isn't a troll account check my history. I'm not trying to come off jaded. I know how hard it is. I ...

I'm not all trying to troll or knock any one. Your absolutely right about having options, and not being able to live off of shit pay. Finding a good job has more to do then being able to talk. There's...

How is stammering not a permanent disability??? It seldom if ever just goes away on its own. I've had it since I could remember. Regarding jobs, it's not that I think I'm above the work but I am above...

> I know for a fact if I did not have this condition I'd be successful at life. You cannot possibly claim this. I'd even say it's stupid to say something like that. Perhaps you would be successful...

My whole point is minorities are still discriminated in the work place even tho in certain sectors its illegal to do so! Like i pointed out even me being gay right now could get evicted and fired from...

Let's compare apples to apples here. 'Minorities" are not discriminated against in the work place. It's illegal and the employer can be sued for a lot of money. You even admitted to working at a place...
