It’s September 2023, I’m 56 years old and it’s only in the last few months that I’ve identified what might be my own neurodiversity. Does it help or hinder?
So many challenges, successes, failures, misunderstandings, confusion, confidence, lack of confidence and so much more are starting to make sense. Maybe not complete sense just yet, but at least the basis of an understanding what’s happened until now.
But no more. I’m starting to find out why I tick the way that I do.
From now on I’m on a new path, one that already seems clearer and has a welcoming future. As a middle aged British male under huge stress and anxiety with a seemingly successful business that’s slowly battering me emotionally and personally, I happened to see an article on LinkedIn about Neurodiversity in the workplace. It resonated with me so much I read article after article, it fits and I think I’m going to enjoy a new journey of understanding. Maybe…
I never really knew what I was any good at or what I was meant to do or be. I know I’m not stupid, rather the opposite I think, or that’s how I feel at least, but that’s pointless without knowing how to use what intelligence or talents I may have, how to channel them, or what to go for, especially when self-esteem and self-confidence are hugely fluctuating factors.
Now I know or have an idea at least. I know what I want to be and do, I’m better working on my own and applying myself to channels that interest me and that’s fine, I don’t have to do one thing, I can be quietly invisible and work ethically and fairly for mine and others benefits. I can let myself flow without worrying but instead embracing what makes me, me.
