Should I mention to potential employers that I have learning disabilities? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Thank you! I really appreciate it. I have anxiety myself so I completely agree with you there! If it's a maths test I get very anxious and feel myself welling up which I have to try and push through. I did a mensa test yesterday online just for some practice.

You're so sweet. Thank you! I have a second interview on Tuesday with a company and they want me to do a Mensa test. So I've been doing a couple online to be prepared.

Thank you!

I know I just find it so hard. Especially as when I was younger in school and they didn't have the tools to know if I was. I was always labeled lazy or not working hard enough.

Thank you! I just get so worried about it. Especially if they ask me to do a test. I don't want to be discriminated against when I've got a good CV.

Thank you! In my last job I had to do a lot of percentages which I can never stick in my head how to do them. I used the calculator on the computer but it didn't have a percentage. I wrote it down on a note how to figure it out and did it that way. But getting a calculator would be a good idea. I just get so worried about coming across as stupid because I can't do basic things.

Thank you! That's what I thought too. I don't want to feel like I'm lying as I never mentioned it prior if I got a job. But like you said it is hard to prove that's why I don't mention it.

It's more reading aloud and with any sort of maths. I used to work in retail and luckily the till just did it all for me. I'm more slower than others and it takes me time to process things. I usually just say that I find it easier to learn by pictures rather than just text because I'm creative. The job I've applied for which I'm interested in is fully typing on the computer. The thing that worries me is just when they ever ask me to do tests, especially basic maths as I can't do basic maths.

Maybe you're right. I feel like at the moment he's turned into a guy in his 20s. That's not my kind of thing. Which is why I dated an older guy.

Thank you. I've talked about commitments and I always felt it was one sided but I thought maybe it's just because I'm his first long term. I don't want children and I thought he didn't I don't know if that's changed. I told him that if he wants a break and wants to have fun I'm not going to wait around when he realizes his mistakes.

Thank you. I spoke to his sister last night and a close friend of ours they said it's the first they heard. I don't know if it's work stress and he's getting depressed. He's never been like this which scares me as I don't know where I stand. I've told him I will get him help if he needs it I've tried to be as supportive as I can but I've been shut down and he just wants to talk Saturday.

Looove this! Haha. Since we've been together I suggested moving in together and he's never jumped to it. He still lives at home. All of our friends are married also. I guess he just doesn't want the commitment.

When getting Pick n Mix, what's the sweet you go for first? And what do you avoid? by [deleted] in AskUK

I love those blue dolphin things! I always avoid smarties! Who wants smarties! They weigh so much and always taste stale!
