It’s one of the things I guess ADHD has helped me with is I love trying new things. I actually don’t mind the learning process either which I think is my Autism as I see learning as fun (most of the time). I love learning through mistakes as well as it’s all learning. Keeping me committed to the longer learning journey is a bit hit and miss however - if I love it I will deep dive and may not resurface for a long time. If however the novelty of learning wears off and it doesn’t keep me captivated I will move on in a heartbeat. Hence so many abandoned hobbies over the years 😂. But you can’t learn without mistakes and they are the lessons worth learning.

I observed this particularly within the contact centre when I was still in policing. The constant barrage of calls and dispatch is relentless exposure to trauma that is often overlooked by the organisation as they don’t go to scene. But they are very much first responders and are exposed to trauma every day. Just because it’s part of the job doesn’t make trauma any less devastating if you’re not believed or supported.

So many times our school would tell me James had separation anxiety and would push me away from the school door and say he’s fine once you leave. In reality they had no understanding of why he was so anxious and needed my attachment. Thankfully I challenged this view with them. I never force James into school now when he is distressed - I am and always will be his safe place.
