I live in America. So this is very doable. But I’m just so embarrassed by the thought of confronting them. I’ve always been taught to attempt to hide my stutter and seem “normal” so people would treat...

Also, you may want to talk with a lawyer. This is a violation of your rights. Edit: probably depends what country you live in...

It's still a *legal* disability. I don't consider mine to be one but it one day i wanted to check the box on a job app that said "disability" I would be in my right too....

True, but many people who stutter don't consider themselves as disabled and don't apply to jobs as disabled. In my local NSA group, only one out of 8 has ever applied for any sort of disability assist...

That’s not true. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, it is, since it hinders normal communication. It is a valid disability....

No it's not a disability. Unless you view it as one and allow it to hold you back. In real world you will likely need many interviews before someone hires you. That's the unfortunate reality. Don't ...

“Is Stuttering a Disability?”

“Is Stuttering a Disability?” I was asked this question by my programs director. I am a Medical Lab Technology student and now we are interviewing for internship positions. Since my GPA is one of the ...

I have a strong rule where I will not be friends with or date anyone that makes fun of my stutter. I think you’re just a bad person for that

I have a strong rule where I will not be friends with or date anyone that makes fun of my stutter. I think you’re just a bad person for that ...

If you don't already, disclose your stutter right before the interview (I do it after the introduction/formalities.) Bonus points if you tell them that you are actively trying to improve it. I would...

Where I live it’s legally considered a disability (NY), I guess it could be different in other states but I sort of doubt it. I did make an earlier comment on this thread that was a bit long bc I was ...

I figured it was overstepping to tell people on their behalf, just wanted to ask for a second opinion. I didn't know it was legally considered a disability, that certainly makes how people respond mor...

As if my first response wasn’t long enough lol, here’s something else I’d like to add. I wouldn’t have a conversation with your team about the employee’s stutter for the reasons I already wrote about....

I'm ready to overcome this. I'm not letting stuttering run my life anymore.

I'm ready to overcome this. I'm not letting stuttering run my life anymore. For the past 4 years, I've been obsessing over my stutter. It made me even more insecure, and I even chose my major (sign la...

I was supposed to do one in Irish last year (it was eventually cancelled cause the school couldn’t do it) and I asked my teacher about it and he just said that they wouldn’t even consider my stutter w...

Happened to me as well, I spoke with the teacher beforehand and when she did not yield, I went to to the principal. I was given reasonable accommodations and I got through it. Good luck...

Have you spoken to your teacher about your stutter? When I did speaking tests they spoke to me about it and were lenient on hesitations and fluency. If they aren't willing to do this you should talk...

explain your situation to the teacher after class, get a note from parents to explain it. Most of the teachers I've had have been pretty chill towards me...

Do you have an IEP for your speech? If so, that should be the end of it. If not, start working up the food chain....

If your teacher doesn't care, go over their head to the section head or even higher. I got full exception from all speaking exams. I also got 25% extra marks on all your exams, and was offered a sc...

Does your company have an HR department? Consider a meeting or email that brings that person in the loop. Your manager is playing with discrimination. Under the ADA you have rights. If you like an...
