[quote=Anonymous]Oh boy, yeah, as a fellow ADHD person this sounds like ADHD + being stretched to me.

Do you think there is an actual racial component to this? It sounds, from your description, that the racial stuff is incidental - and it's more a matter of there happens to be two Black women leading projects you're working on, and two white men who are lawyers at the agency.

I also have trouble with details/mixing stuff up that I would never regularly mix up when I am going through a bad ADHD spell.

It sounds to me like you are taking exactly the right approach - building in levels of fact-checking for yourself. Just be sure every time you send an email that you're triple checking it's the right person you're sending it to.

And also try to breathe. Talk to your therapist if you can. You didn't commit a crime, the person who talked to you still wants to work with you, people make mistakes, you are not a bad person - or a racist (I don't think). You made some easy to make mistakes that did not lead to anything catastrophic or, you're aware, you're making efforts not to repeat those mistakes. You're human! [/quote]
