Ugh, I'm so sorry. Siblings (and family in general) can be the worst. The most hurtful things said to me about my stutter have been from family members. Not just because the content of what they said ...

I'm really sorry. Sometimes siblings can be more insensitive than strangers. I'm guessing you don't want to make a big deal out of it, but I don't think it would be bad if you mentioned to your sister...

You’re totally justified in how you feel. I’d feel the same if someone said that to me, especially my sister. I’m sorry she said that to you. There are people out there, amongst the ignorant ones, wh...

That is a good plan. I would also tell him educate him a little and tell him how to act. I can give him he benefit of the doubt and assume he is ignorant and insensitive at best. So it's good to know ...

I don't know why I lied about that, it was a spur of the moment thing and I was uncomfortable. I agree that there are ways to improve and obviously I want to be the best presenter I can and help the c...

I don't think he had bad attentions but at the end of the day I don't entirely agree that it's even appropriate to talk to me about it, especially after telling him I can't control it. I'm weird in th...

I think I'm just gonna bring it up directly to my manager next week that I felt it was inappropriate. If he still gives me a hard time I'll reach out to hr. Thanks for the help...

I actually internally transfered so I didn't interview with this team. I guess my previous manager could have told him when I transfered, but nobody on my previous team ever cared about me slipping on...

I would send an email, copy hr, and include a link to westutter.org. I'm really sorry this happened to you....

Totally inappropriate and insensitive. Either he has a problem with your stutter or he is completely oblivious to how inappropriate this is. Did you interview with him? Did your company know you stutt...

> This whole thing caught me off guard as nobody has ever really approached me about my stuttering before. I hate to say it, but welcome to the real world. I don't think you should be clamming up ...

As much as I want to say something about it to my manager I'm so non-confrontational I don't think I can manage it...

It seems like your manager was being insensitive and intrusive. If I was in your situation i'd probably think they were crossing a line. But at the same time, I always inform potential employers about...

It sounds like you managed well in a difficult situation. It’s so frustrating that some people feel we just aren’t trying hard enough! It might be worth revisiting this with your manager and telling...

I would speak with my instructors in private and just disclose your stutter. Also, every college has an office of Special Populations so that if you need to talk with anyone, they can help. Also, wh...

I went up to each of my professors after class on the first day and explained my circumstances. I said I was ready and willing to participate, but it just takes me a little longer to get my thoughts o...

Precisely! At that point they will more often than not offer the in person interview for whatever reason being anything from giving a fair chance to just being sympathetic, either way it gives OP chan...

I go both ways. It’s all about intent and the personality of the other person. If they are kind and gentle then I’m ok...if there’s a hint of impatience or annoyance I’ll call them out and watch them...

I agree with the other commenters — However, if you’re confident in your ability to the job, appeal to the hiring manager — tell them to put you on a probationary period. That you know your stutter is...

Yeah I like it when people do it for me, takes a weight off my shoulders and can allow me to talk about something else....
