Hi--sorry for the long post..
This is my first time writing on an AADD forum.
I have read many articles about this condition and all my symptoms fit to a T. My GP even mentioned it once and i brushed it off. I feel ashamed and feel there 'is something wrong with me.
I'm a 35 year old male who works as an actor (when i can get the work!).
Anyway, what made me come onto this site today and write is that i've just started a temp job in admin, which is what i mostly end up getting through agencies, but i'm terrible at admin. However, i really need the money and flexibility, so i can pursue my craft in my spare time. I've been through awful pain doing these admin type jobs as i always struggle. It's not that i don't understand things, it's like there's holes in my memory and mind.
So, today, i sent of an email in this new admin job.
I checked it like 8 times before sending it. I come in after lunch and the boss pulls me to the side and says that ive sent confidential information to another client. It was awful. I felt that sinking 'i'm so dumb and useless' feeling inside me again. Anyway, they had to call the data officer and we had to go through some long process of emailing the clients.
I'm really worried now i'l make more mistakes. It's so hard for me not to. It's all new and as a temp, they load it onto you.
I get confused with dates, times, days etc and i have to schedule a calendar with dates that keep changing with 25 colour categories on outlook being assigned to different people. and update 3 different excel logs, i with different dates, information and times.
I guess i will get the sack soon...again . Feel so low about it. I'm an intelligent guy generally with a university degree.
I wanted to ask, are admin jobs ill suited to AADD people?
and are these types of errors common for people like us? How do people make it through the world of employment especially when there is such sensitive information being sent to 100s of different people etc?
Any support would be welcomed. Thanks
