Peter Louw Thank you for all the advice and information Peter. The article contains letters from PWS regarding their disappointing and frustrating experiences with job interviews and promotions and builds from that. The report on a survey of employers re hiring stutterers was an eye opener. Most indicated that they would prefer to hire someone who was deaf or with moderate cerebral palsy rather than someone who stuttered. The reasoning behind this was that the employers did not understand stuttering and found it very strange.
Some people make incorrect assumptions about individuals who stutter.
Whether you're looking for a job or already have a job, talk about your stuttering. Many people feel uncomfortable talking to a person who stutters. Educate them about stuttering to make them feel comfortable and to dispel myths about stuttering. He got the job. These differences were mostly a result of the PWS's reluctance to accept positions that involved making presentations, rather than a result of employer discrimination.
