My best advice is to immediately introduce yourself as someone who stutters. Don’t apologize, just explain, and then immediately move to the next topic, bc you don’t need them to respond. Add in some gentle humor if you can and make eye contact (or equivalent) when talking. “Hey, I’m Jay, and I’m excited to begin today. I’m a person who stutters meaning I sometimes repeat or pause when talking. Can you recommend a good place to get lunch?”
