Funny how fluent people don’t even think about it, often just saying whatever comes to mind, while we deliberately try to choose every word. It could be a strength for us though - when a silent perso...

There’s a difference to getting rejected because of negative traits and personalities, and getting rejected because of a disability you have no control over. It’s like saying that white women die of ...

The fact that I stutter myself changes the nuance here. My stutter may actually be worse than yours, yet I consciously make an effort to speak slowly. You may have taken my comment the wrong way — but...

I know, you can't tell for sure. That's why I said the best you can do is point out inconsistencies. Like if you have a back and forth conversation with a recruiter online, and then you disclose your ...
