Due to the nature of my last job, I had to leave. It was loud, fast paced with time constraints and long hours. Sadly, I was unable to perform the role. Can anyone suggest agencies that can help the neurodivergent community or, even better, job roles.
My background (20 plus years) was mainly as a support role in Insurance industry (EA). I'm a fast learner, detail oriented, hard worker. I just need the right type of environment to thrive. Any advice would be appreciated.

Think about your ideal work environment and the types of tasks you like to do. Are they solo tasks? Things you can manage your own output on? Would working remote be better for you? Maybe pick a couple of key job aspects and focus on those.

Thank you for your response

I am also ND and being able to work remotely has been a game changer for me. I can bounce away on my exercise ball I use as a seat, move around as much as I need to, and I don’t have to spend the energy masking my facial expressions. I use time blocks so that I can focus. I still get a little overwhelmed but they could simply be because I work for a busy agency. I am very fortunate that my coworkers and boss are extremely understanding that certain tasks are not suited to me so I am able to pass them off and focus on those which I excel. Good luck finding something that allows you to thrive. There are places out there.

I think if the work isn’t the issue finding another company is worth it. They can vary so much! I am ND as well and I actually have an ADA, meaning I can ask for reasonable accommodation’s in order to do my job. I have a Nurse Practitioner that wrote the accommodation request which is then submitted as a claim to the carrier the company has for benefits and then approved. ADHD and other things like it are federally protected (thankfully that hasn’t changed) and you can’t be discriminated against. If you like your management it can be helpful to give them a heads up you submitted it. I also think a company with good leadership and clear scaffolding is essential. Something I have recently realized as I have burned out yet again due to a lack of it and leadership, it’s not always us, it can be the environment and not a matter of capability.

Thank you so much for your message. Ill keep this in mind as my search for a new job continues. I completely agree, I know I'm capable I just need a company to support that. I will get in contact with my psychiatrist. Thank you again, Emma

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
