I have personally gone through something like this. I have a degree in Biotechnology and stammer a bit too, which normally doesn't matter in conversations. There are some employers who question my ability based on stammering while others on my Biotech degree. Even with 8+ years of IT experience, it hasn't gone away. I once had an employer who knew that I stammer a bit make me jump through 5 rounds of interview only to say - well you stammer so not a good fit. While there was one who refused to consider my resume because "non-CS". I have compiled a personal blacklist of such companies.
