Well I work at a HE educational establishment in Marketing, which means, travelling, driving, presentations, being organised, planning events, liaising with different ages, repetition, different tasks daily etc etc,,,which all needs top class working memory as everyday is different and every experience is unique.
I got diagnosed with Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, ADD and Irlen Syndrome a few months into work when i was struggling with everything including anxiety/stress. I felt the initial relief but also confusion. I had to disclose it with my LM who also informed my team. However its been 6 months or longer with no real adjustments made and the team it seems have only been told very little of the SLDs however they are awaiting staff awareness training, which i hope will do me some justice. I have worked my socks off and they see potential in me but because im coping well they keep pushing me and wanting me to contribute more and up my game
I'm still awaiting more adjustments, which were recommended by ATW to be put in place by new years such as the coaching, softwares on PC and staff training plus my lenses for Irlen but im also thinking of calling it quits or looking at HR to rewrite a new contract or maybe create a new post or apply for another internal post. I'm struggling with anything with computers now and sitting in the office plus the communication is lacking but Im a good team player when it comes to planning events and attending visits to colleges/schools (anything spontaneously I can manage especially good feedback from students who i speak to).
Is it even possible under the DDA act to get a new adjusted contract or a new post? I'm also in the good books of the Director, who actually hired me as I'm also a recent graduate from the same university but I'm not sure how they would feel collectively. I'm just unable to show the enthusiasm i showed at the interview. They dont understand that my brain is continuously working, my eyes are screwed because of Irlen, my anxiety is related to all this. I just dont know what to do. The job is a nightmare for people with SLDs in my opinion but at times I feel its just me being a softie :/ Would you guys be able to work in this kinda fast events customer based industry?
Somedays I love the job and at times just wanna hide away :/
