Hi Joe, What you write brings back that sick and hopeless feeling I had when I was in India going thru a similar (though maybe not as traumatic as in your case) situation. This was about 10 years ago when I couldn't get a job inspite of an engineering degree from a top institute. Looking back, although some of the employers were rather mean and unkind, I was not comfortable in my own skin because of my stuttering, and that showed in the interviews. Joe: there is a lot of hope and a lot that can be done. I would suggest that you start with Judy's info, read as much as possible about stuttering and participate in discussions with other people who stutter and especially on the list maintained by Viren Gandhi. An important advice would be to actually meet other people who stutter in your area. If you want to communicate with me privately, my email address is vasc_NOSPAM@umiacs.umd.edu (remove the letters "_NOSPAM"). Good luck.
