That is a great idea, what you do! In my talk, I wrote a part about AAC, the different tools that exist, and the importance of valuing different ways of expressing oneself, whether they are spoken or ...

Pretty idealistic view you got there. The folks hiring do care what I have to say, and more importantly how I say it because it’s to stakeholders sometimes. But I’ll keep the tips in mind, thanks. 😅...

Big smile and feel comfortable with them even if you stutter a lot in the moment.  Bigger fun loving chill smile.  Theyre all human, it is what it is.  No one actually cares what you say. If you know ...

Hi, call me in private, I also face this problem. I'm having a lot of problems at work because of this....

Honestly I just have a lot of confidence in myself. I talk a lot. I just finished law school and I want to be a litigator. I had really good parents who told me I’m smart and capable and have a lot to...

I also always get way more stutters in an online meeting. The easy low hanging fruit I sometimes take is to just talk so fast that the stutters don't have time to develop into a block. But then my sen...

I appreciate that mindset and have applied it in the past. But unfortunately, unconscious bias in hiring doesn’t really subscribe to that mindset and it’s affecting my chances of switching to a new jo...

Reminds me of my first job where I worked as a software engineer in a small company. I had to answer all incoming support calls from clients. It was a nightmare! Work at it, you'll be able to slowly...

Stutter getting worse

Stutter getting worse Hi, I’ve had a stutter all my life but sometimes, it feels like it’s gotten better to the point it’s barely noticeable. But nowadays (I believe it’s due to added stress and work...

Excellent, I am really happy to hear you had a positive conversation. Well done for sticking it out. I went through similar pain at my current company. Ten years and 4 promotions later, things are goi...

Talk to your manager. Describe your challenges and set out some objectives. There is a fair chance your responsibilities may change to ease the transition. If you quit now, what happens with your ne...

To be completely frank... I would've never allowed myself to be put in such an uncomfortable position if I new I wouldn't last at least a year and gained valuable knowledge.. seems like you took a job...

In this job market where it’s hard to get any job, I recommend try to stay in this job for as long as you can. It’s completely okay to still feel very anxious and worry, it’s how you’ll slowly be able...

I work in medical records and have to be on the phone everyday. I would say to challenge yourself and stay with the job . The more practice you get, the more fluent you get. You can do it :)...

Completely understand what you mean by that last statement. Quite frustrating not being able to pin down exactly what makes you tick vs what makes you tic, so to say. Honestly not sure what advice I c...

have you discussed this with your employer? they might be willing to make some accommodations. I'm sure they recognize you have a stammer, unless you are covert of course but have. a fear/trigger of c...

This is why I'm seeking guidance. I think I'm screwed either way. I want to accommodate, but sometimes it isn't a "I want to choose to interrupt", but what if I'm in a rush? My point is sometimes the...

I sympathize with your predicament. Unfortunately, there will be people who discriminate against us because of our stutter. It sucks to accept, but it's life. But please take my advice from a 40 some...

I understand your pain. I wanted to be a music teacher for the longest time, but I’ve come to realize my stutter and tics get in the way. I do okay doing private lessons, but I had to give up that dre...

I'm in the US. I've had this thought before, but I'm afraid of a couple things: 1. I'm afraid that by the time I get a response from HR or whoever about accommodations, that the job may already be ...
