SEC mix up of words and abbrevation Embarassed
This incident happened after my diagnosis, but this specific thing that I struggle with is that
I tend to mix up similar sounding words while I'm writing them down, and it happens a lot
actually, and this is 1 incident that I talked about which happened. After my diagnosis and
it happened in a workplace situation, it is high impact. So overall it's quite overwhelming
whenever it happens and specifically in this context. This was let's get started what
happens. So this was the like time that we were doing group discussions and work and I
was presenting aspects of it and. All of us are sitting down, having conversation and
figuring out strategies at work, and there were like a lot of information that all of us had
collected from different tasks that was assigned to us. And then we kind of got on to the
White Board and started, like, putting everything down from different aspects and
everybody was writing down their things in Post-its, in graphs. And all of that was. Being
assembled and I wrote I was doing my own thing as well and. And others were reading.
When we started reading each other's things and somebody pointed out, was like, who
wrote this? And do you really mean unable? And I was like, I wrote that. I'm like, do you
mean unable or enable? So I was like, I mean enable. So I'm like, oops, I'm sorry. And I felt
very embarrassed. That was. At that moment, and I was, I'm so sorry. Made that mistake
and then this happens a lot while writing. I can't help it, but it does. And I feel very
embarrassed and this confusion occurs and there's this how my brain is wired. And make
by making such small mistakes might come off that I'm unable to like do like big task but I
I'm very good at executing big things or like big tasks but just it impacts my performance in
front of others at work and which kind of can be Entirely overwhelming. Yeah, knowing that
why is this happening does help so that I don't get angry at myself and not push myself
down, but. I find myself quite helpless in moments when it happens and I don't know how
to, like, deal with it immediately. Yes, I calm myself down and things go back to normal. I
try to be more careful than I can be, but there are moments I can't help myself when it just
happens and that's not my fault. It also affects on the kind of space you are in and the
people around you of how. For giving there, I technically had a decent team. They were
decently forgiving, but not always. I got that kind of advantage, so I think it's a mix of both of
what's the surrounding and how you think about yourself helps you cope. So I think. I just
convinced myself so that I don't feel really down about my own capabilities. Lets move to
the next page for emotions.
