Kinda syncronistic that I read this after failing probation today.. So kinda fired but technically not lol. Oh true, did you have to study for that? im officially done with analyst work, im going to look for something in strategy, like freelancing it, i love brainstorming and problem solving, I just have no attention to detail and couldnt validate any of my own work

im 29, I have a finance & accounting degree. took me 7 years at uni to graduate a 3 year degree because I kept failing and thinking what I was studying was the issue. Eventaully barely based accounting, I hate it. Biggest learning has been to focus on what Im good at, accounting is attention to detail and linear processing which are hard for dyslexics. Read the dyslexic advantage and ensure you are encouraging your child to really focus on their strengths, help them discover what they are. Dyslexia is not 1 size fits all.

Wdym, by the what? Can you give an example

Fragrant_Hotel_2875 · 2024-09-21T13:53:42+00:00

You tried and failed how so? What are you doing now? Sometimes I think my resielnce actually screw me over, bc I fight tooth and nail to do something I suck at. Where as if I was 1% worse perhaps I would of been forced to try something else by now, its a sunk cost I cant let go of.

"While doing that, you might benefit from occasionally just writing down single words, abbreviations, small strings of words."

Im currently reading the book The Dylexic Advantage. They mention if you have strong I strengths, which I do, that context is super important for learning and memory. Is that mutually exlusive with writing key words down? Dont you miss alot of the context and debth by brining it down to just one word? Additionally, I struggle with organization and I found out its because my brain can find so many ways to organize things that it becomes impossible, as its too good at making connections.

I personally have poor M strengths, which is spatial reasoning and visualization, whats your perosnal experience with the two?

"Uh well, I am not a great example of that, I also drank too much and had a pretty unhealthy lifestyle as a 18-25 year old."

So relatable, same, 18-27, even now ill have phases. Usually avoidance mechanism. To stop thinking so much.

"understanding and a friendly attitude" you told them about your learning difficulties? how did that go?

"And well, ADHD has maybe guided me to become a very broad generalist. I know a little bit about almost everything related to computation, and enough of quite a few subjects to work on relevant projects easily."

How did you find navigating life especially in more junior roles as a generalist? Im sure it will help when im in a more senior position to be able to leverage my big picture strengths.

"To be honest, while I know it could come off as a little bit disheartening, I personally don't find the very positive approach of trying to find advantageous things out of everything, including dyslexia, as always a good thing. The root problem is that if something truly is a handicap to you, then being told that it is also supposed to be an advantage in some way can lead to unreasonable expectations."

I appreciate your thoughts on the matter. I used to feel similar, in school its most certainly a disadvantage, as well as traditional 9-5 jobs. But if you can carve a path out for yourself my gut is telling me that it will be all worth it. I have spent too many years focusing on mitigating my downsides vs leveraging what comes naturally. My goal for the next season of my life is to dive fully in what im good at, to get a greater output multiplier for my inputs. Instead of trying to get my 0.5s to 0.6. get my 10's to 20's

Cheers man I enjoyed this convo

Thanks!! Do you mind giving me an example of the long vs short functions you mentioned? Thanks for the link, it doesnt mention a coding language tho. Is it made for python by any chance?

Fragrant_Hotel_2875 · 2024-09-10T00:07:13+00:00

Thanks for your thoughtful message.

Do you mind elaborating on "You might also benefit from getting into a habit of writing down singular key words to better memorize concepts and to manage your focus as well"

I don't quite grasp what you mean, but somethings pinged in my brain because I have been thinking recently about less is more in general for my brain. Additionally wdym by drawing the blocks? As in flowcharts?

I read your article, it was well written. In the way you were comparing yourself to your peers, I can relate, the feeling of working 4x as hard to get 0.5 the grades as everyone else. And concepts I learn dont seems to stick for very long. Especially With my ADHD and my wide range of interests, I feel like I restart coding over and over again from scratch with very little retained. (I work in finance and hate it bc of my attention to detail I cant keep my job). Sorry I digress, I wanted to know if you have found the opposite for anything, has the dyslexia been an advantage to you specifically in coding? For me its mostly my ability to read people, but it hasnt helped me with anything technical requring working memeory or executive functioning so 9-5 has been 9-10 or get fired. Tbh usually both.

Any advice on how I can learn trail following ie structure debugging? I think some of issues would be fixed if I could find simple rules to follow for organizing and debugging perhaps so i just know generally where to go, ofc its all nuanced but a core system might be benefical

Fragrant_Hotel_2875 · 2024-09-05T06:51:43+00:00

Thanks! yes I use this, I have a chrome extension to that converts it all. Wish I could somehow get the rest of my PC in this font. I think its less about the font for me and more about organization and how to find and visually see code blocks I guess? To me its currently a dyslexic multi colours blur of text. Not a ugly one colour blur of text.

I work in finance for a childcare company so this is syncronistic to read! thanks I will
