I have the exact same challenges. Once I learned that finance could be creative and fluid, I was able to get into it. I can't deal with dry, rote topics like accounting.
If it’s math, numbers, directions, look into dyscalculia. Masked and fought my entire life with numbers only to realize i have a learning disability, and in knowing it, one can then explore learning in ways that may enable them differently that before.
Executive dysfunction for me, can pair well with sensory overload. It’s too much to mentally consume or comprehend. Most content is not designed for the end user’s needs. It’s designed to cover complex content that protects them. It’s okay to have a trusted source, family or friend help look over things. We can only consume and process so much.
Here’s the thing: neurotypicals never worry they might be neurodivergent.
Same here…I thought it was just me. Btw, SP1, what do you mean by finance can be creative and fluid? How did you experience that?
Accounting is basically keeping track of things (kinda my worse nightmare).
Finance is problem-solving and decision-making. What are my options? Are there novel solutions? Can I come up with a new way to estimate probability of success?
I guess the way I see it, accounting is following rules and organizing things. Finance is infinitely complex and allows for innovative solutions.
Yep I can definitely relate and there is nothing to be embarrassed about. I have just learned that some of us are different and we learn differently and that is okay. We weren't all meant to be the same.
