I can't do my job. What's wrong?

[help005]

My mum said I was given too much oxygen as a baby and I'm sure I'm
dyslexic. I have no common sense. My brain doesn't work like everyone else's. I've never seen a doctor. Not a day goes by where I don't mess things up. Work and my homelife.

I've just gone back to work after my youngest has started school. I just can't get all the information in my head. I work in a huge department store and I'm the only one in on my department so i can't ask for help as no one else in the shop will know.

I've had training. I just freeze and forget what I'm doing. People have to que for15 minutes while I serve. I've given the wrong change so many times. The till is never right at the end of the day. I've send wrong deliveries out. I just don't understand how to do it even when told. I need to work for the money but I can't do the work.

I can't drive because I just can't think quick enough.

Any advice.

That sounds very overwhelming. Could you start by writing some things down? Make two lists. 1. Things you find hard and 2. things you enjoy or find easier.

Then do talk to your doctor and it a therapist.

No one on here can give you real answers but we can give you support.

Can you write the procedures down so that you have a checklist to follow?

Hi. I'm still waiting for my aspergers assessments

[MumUnderTheMoon]

Sounds a bit like dyspraxia maybe you can look into being assessed. Here's a link that might help dyspraxiafoundation.org.uk

@help005 hello I am new to this board and can see that this thread was started a couple of years ago. It sounds as if things have progressed, as in going down the Aspergers route.

How are you? Are you still at work?
