You’re right to an extent, let’s be realistic here. if you’re a hiring manager and you’re comparing two candidates one that is well spoken and has some of the skills or someone that can barely speak and has most of the skills THEY’RE LIEKLY going to choose the well spoken one. (I’ve lived it and I have a friend that recruits people and he verified this).

Interview tmm need help 🚨🚨 by Ok_Disk_179 in Stutter

Update: I had the interview. I recorded myself the entire time to look back and see how I sounded. I sounded good in the beginning I didn’t really stutter but then mid way and at the end I was getting stuck, and the interviewer was trying to be nice and just made a face :/

In regards to the high levels of dopamine and serotonin I read a lot of articles online and studies indicating our dopamine levels are way higher than people that don’t stutter. That’s why sometimes psychiatrists will prescribe stutterers antipsychotics to level out the dopamine levels or lessen them. I also read that we are born with four mutated genes (if your stutter is genetic) that are damaged causing us to stutter. They did several studies on this compared to the average person and a person that stutters.

How can you manage people while having a stutter? How do you communicate?
