for somebody who technically actually failed out of a summer online course (pre covid) and had horrible executive dysfunction for certian kinds of tasks for half of my life i am shockingly good at project management now. (have had multiple senior operations/PMO's mention to me they love working with me as a designer because i don't need any handholding lol).

half saying this as encouragement that it's a skill that *can* be learned, whether you're neurodivergent or not. so much of this is slowly figuring out the patterns your brain responds best to and iterating accordingly.

congrats and BIG SAME -- this could've been written about me, lol, down to also getting 'easy-to-work-with' feedback from stakeholders after a young adulthood of having truly atrocious executive function, with the weird academic record to show it. Going from needlessly failing/dropping out of classes from not attending -> now genuinely considering getting my CAPM or PMP for an earning boost in my field? Like you said, it is learnable! Who'd've thunk! Certainly not younger me.

handshake emoji and solidarity!!! i wonder if it's because we *had* to learn those skills extra-intensely and see what concretely worked that we're so good at it now, versus just scraping by.

congratulations to you too btw. :D that's gotta feel good.
