[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have low processing speed along with some other LDs and I’ve had a successful and satisfying career. Obviously I was not diagnosed as a child, but this and other issues were discovered when I got a full psych assessment for accommodations for grad school (where I did great, btw).

I have all kind of coping mechanisms. For example, I take notes constantly because seeing things on paper helps me think them through, and allows me to go over convos multiple times.

While I wish I could have gotten accommodations earlier, I am glad I was never told I should see myself as limited or lesser. Because I’m not! Everybody has their quirks; some have labels and some do not, some are comforted disabilities and some are not, but everybody has something. It’s fine!

I did best in “sit and think” jobs, not “meet and discuss” jobs. but I’ve learned to handle the latter. I write down ideas before meetings, I print materials so I can reference them during the meeting, etc. it’s a little extra work, but the point is I can cope. I’m sure your DC can too.
