I'll look into it. I don't have medical insurance right now unfortunately, so I'll have to see how much that's going to cost to get "proof". I had a speech therapist when I was a kid, but I doubt ther...

Generally, governments have hiring programs designated specifically for people with disabilities (cause stuttering is one). If trying for a federal job, you need to get a Schedule A letter from a doct...

Yea, you're right I probably just had a long streak of bad luck. I don't have any evidence, but I vowed to myself ever since the engineering firm job that if I ever do get evidence down the road, that...

Management can make or break a position, which it seems like every superior you had was a grade A douche. I’ve had my challenges while finding and procuring employment, but nothing to that extent. If...

Every college has a accessibility support center. You should look into that. They would make accommodation for you and you would just take show some proof to your professor,m. For example, you tell th...

A speech impediment has nothing to do with your competence or ability to perform your job (unless it is, for example, a lecturer position where you’d have to publicly speak 95% of the time). So don’...

In future interviews, I would suggest telling them that you have a disability in the form of a speech impediment. A stutter falls under the disability definition according to U.S. law, and they cannot...

Yeah i was thinking of putting it on my resume. But atleast now I'm getting calls for interviews or tests. I'm not sure if that would be the case if i put a disability up there. Did u face any problem...

Disability Insurance? Hi all, I live in Los Angeles and I’ve lost both my freelance gigs because of California’s new AB5 law (it is a total shit show that has cost thousands of jobs across the state)...

You should speak with the Disability Services at your university. They’ll be able to provide you with the information you need...

Stuttering isn't an excuse in my opinion. Some places recognize speech impediments as a disability. Maybe you can get an exemption or a re-do if you contact a special needs advocate....

As long as the job isn’t dependent on you being able to talk fluently, like a telemarketer, then you’ll be fine. They can’t discriminate against you because stuttering is technically a disability and...

Well, as you wish, but as you said, you will most probably regret that you did not pursue college and end up with some boring job... I would recommmend you to go to college, even though it is not gonn...

You can either live with regret knowing you never went to college because of a stutter, or you can go to college and at least try. Email the professors, tell them know you have a stutter. Pick one, I ...

Sure, its a group of people from different minority groups (LGBTQ+, Disabled, BAME etc) who help our organisation support and work with them to ensure all people are treated fairly. Its been going fo...
