Stuttering Holds Workers Back
I always thought this might be true, and now I know:
A survey was taken on people who stutter. The result showed that many people think they would have better job if they did not stutter. And others know for sure that they did not get a specific job or their interview was cut short because of their stuttering.
The employers probably don't know anything about stuttering, so they get these wrong ideas that the stutterer is a retard. This used to happen in my school too, with kids. But later, they admitted the fact they were wrong. I admit that I would've thought the same if I didn't stutter. But I would've done further research before coming into conclusions.
Well, I've heard that stutterers generally possess a higher I.Q. than others, and think about all the famous people that have stuttered. I guess you could tell that to your employers. All the people that stutter in my school (2 of them, other than me) are considered to be highly intelligent by others.
But all stutterers should still continue to work on, to improve their speech.

Dear Fellow Stutterer
There is hope. I am also a stutterer, but it hardly ever happens anymore, but it still is very much a part of who I am and my path in life. I am a grown woman now, but felt your pain since the third grade. It was torture. But you gain something from all adversity. It forced me to learn the love of reading and writing. At recess,I would hibernate to our little library in a very tiny school and just read rather than risk interacting. I became very athletic as you didn't have to speak much there either. And eventually, after I just kept putting myself out there and speech therapy a little through childhood, it lessened and lessened all throughout my life. The best thing I learned was to talk slowwww and articulate. It can get better, and REALLY believed and visualized it would. I am now strong, continue to stay fit and am well read. So let it work for you as you progress.
Good Luck and don't let it defeat you.
Annie
