Hi,
I'm AnyaK and as I often mention on my posts on the board for Excel questions/help, I am autistic with multiple specific learning difficulties (ADHD, Dyslexia etc.). I also have visual processing issues, anxiety disorder...well, you get the idea.
I was wondering if anyone could relate to this in any way and if so, if there were any tips around coping with trying to improve knowledge of Excel (including trying to learn extremely basic VBA), when you have learning/cognitive challenges?
Every time I get to the point where I have to post an Excel question here, as much as I value the amazing expertise here, I can't help but feel like I've failed and am irredeemably stupid. It's a horrible feeling.
Can anyone relate at all?
Does anyone have any tips for coping with feelings of failure?
Thanks,
AnyaK
