Hey Boss
I had my monthly session with my Psychiatrist today, here is some feedback just to keep you updated on my journey.
I hope you don’t mind being the recipient, but it helps me understand my journey better if I ‘soundboard’ my experience 🙂
I also didn’t include the other GDs in this email since my interaction and exposure at work is mainly with you.
Happy if you want to share with them if you feel it will add value or context.
I am doing very well now, mentally and physically.
There was only one afternoon this month where I could feel the medication working out at about 15:00, but I didn’t have meetings for the rest of that day, so the impact wasn’t that bad. Just felt fatigued mentally.
My dosage remains the same until December, so all good on that front.
To Do List
My focus area (homework) for September is to read up on High Functioning Autistic Savant syndrome.
It was revealed that I present with possible symptoms in the Spatial Skills (Map Making / Direction Finding), Art and Music replication categories of Savant syndrome, but without the difficulty of social interaction and isolation.
I excel at visual thinking and I also have enhanced perception of patterns and grouping processes as well as working memory.
I did the Raven’s Progressive Matrices IQ Test which measures fluid intelligence and achieved an IQ score of 147.
This explains why I enjoyed dabbling in the data science linked to Telematics and its prediction models.
It also ties in with my problem-solving abilities which speaks to my Project Management skill set.
My Psychiatrist pointed out that I be mindful and tactful when sharing this newfound information with too many people. My humble intention for sharing may be misunderstood, and it can be mistaken for coming across as arrogant or narcissistic.
This misinterpretation would make it difficult for me to explain my excitement for sharing my mental gifts. Where I just feel obliged that it would be noble to apply my abilities to try and add value where I can, this aim may be lost in translation.
So, I know I don’t have to ask, but please don’t share this with too many people seeing that I only present with the markers and haven’t been earmarked as someone with Savant syndrome yet.
This new journey is unfolding at a controlled pace and I’m still processing all the information.
Thank you again for allowing me to find my path whilst trusting me with the Brand merge project, I am doing my best not to disappoint.
I do have a fantastic project team though, and they are doing a sterling job!
Please be patient with me if you note any delayed or confusing behaviour, I’m mindful of taking it one day at a time.
Take care
