I am for it. I don't really do it much but that's because i'm not comfortable with my stutter and myself enough to do it. It's primarily about taking control; owning your stutter. You disclose on your terms and then you dont need to worry as much about what they'll think. you present it the way you want it, it's out there, done. So I support those who like it. As far as job interviews go or similar things, I think it depends on the situation. Some interviews I disclosed, others I didn't. I feel it comes down to the person and the situation. If I was feeling really nervous and like my speech would be bad, I would disclose in a confident way. Hiring managers, at least at decent sized companies in my experience, aren't so amateurish as to write you off because of it. Especially not if you disclose confidently and show it's not bothering you. There's some quote about the definition of irrationality is trying to hide something everyone already knows. that's not exactly it but it's something like that. And like most people you meet, they don't care as much as you might think, all they care about is if you can do the job. But most of the people I know who disclose are people who are more comfortable with their speech and definitely do NOT see themselves as a stutter first and [Insert Name Here] second.
