As Charlie mentioned, there is a brochure that lists tips for people listening to a person who stutters. I'm not aware of where one might get a card that would be carried by a person who stutters and given to listeners, but you could probably make one with a program for do-it-yourself business cards. Many years ago, we had an All-American place kicker on the football team at West Virginia, Paul Woodside, who went on to play in the NFL. He was an amazing athlete, and he also stuttered. I remember that he had a card that was more caustic than what you had in mind, but it read something like, "I stutter. If you don't have time to listen to me, then I probably don't want to talk to you." He used to hand them to people on campus, and I have one somewhere. Ken
