Can you please elaborate on this? How can someone punish me for having a speech impediment(which they are) and not know about it. This is contradictory,...

Does your teacher/boss know you stutter? They probably wouldn't punish you for having an involuntary speech impediment (some say disability) if they know about it....

In case legaladvice needs some help, I would suggest the possibility of 'Constructive Discharge' under the NYC Human Rights Law. I'm not a lawyer (nor even American), but most Western countries have ...

I don’t think because of your stutter they should fire or change your work schedule so you work less. That’s not right...

That's absolutely awful. I'm sorry they are doing this to you. I have had a stutter my whole life (37) and I've never received treatment like that, not even in the military. I'm pretty sure its illega...

Disability won’t work cause it’s not a disability. Which I know it sucks but don’t think you will get that. Try reaching out to community college or a tech school. Or a youth career center. What jo...

Lack of professionalism on the barista part. The stutterer could have mentioned her disability but oh well....

Sadly that's a privilege mostly for developed countries, we don't have such facilities. When I told one of the Head of Department about my stammer before exams, she called me out on asking for "prefer...

Sorry to hear that. If your professors are impatient I would talk to the Dean or whoever is in charge where you go. where do you live?...
