Working Together

- [Announcer] Spectrum of knowledge.

- Social communications and processing visual information are both really, really hard for me. And I may understand very complicated things, I can see patterns very easily, I can see the big picture and the small picture at the same time, which is something that not a lot of people can do. But the things that I'm good at, I'm really, really good at, and the things that I'm bad at, oh, do I really suck at.

- [Announcer] Systems thinking.

- I tend to be a fairly analytical person. I tend to kind of look at things in a very systems-oriented lens. So I'm both a big-picture and small-picture person in that way. I have to learn by really seeing how things integrate with my overall knowledge of reality and the world, and make it make sense while I'm learning it.

- [Announcer] Heightened awareness.

- I think things differently, do things differently. I have different skill sets differently. But it makes me more aware of my surroundings and it makes me more aware of what I'm doing, but also makes me have more insight.

- [Announcer] Executive skills.

- It's like, because the way that my executive dysfunction works, it's not that I don't know that I'm supposed to do something and it's not even, sometimes I forget, but it's not even necessarily that I've forgotten, it's just that initiating things and then not knowing exactly how it's gonna go or how I'm going to approach it is so overwhelming that I just don't start. So it's like, "I know I need to do this, but I'm overwhelmed by the prospect of doing it and therefore I'm delaying it until I feel more regulated and I'm able to just do this."
