Making/receiving phone calls

The phone call thing is ridiculous. I hate being on the phone. Lately there's been a huge push for me to speak on the phone.. and for HOURS AT A TIME! I've tried to explain that Im already making effort and taking huge uncomfortable steps to do this.. but, it just isn't realized how frustrating preparing for a call is. Next I'll explain that when i take the time to text a long message or discuss important topics, it MUST be written in a text message, so that I can scroll back and find pieces of the conversation that i didn't understand, they didn't understand, or, to, look for manipulation of conversation, via gaslighting or other friends of coercive control. The facts are, that once some ppl know you are effected by a condition, they will try to use that to manipulate the outcome of a situation, or deny accountability. It truly sucks.

You should be able to get a copy of your employees handbook. I think that is standard procedures, although, most ppl skip that part. I would take this up with management. Which sounds like an impossible task. Maybe, you could write an email to them, explaining the situation, and asking for the reasonable accommodations, that you require. That way, there's less anxiety while approaching authoritative positions within your place of employment. The company must be fair, and include all employees by making sure, that everyone they've hired comprehends what is expected of them. Make your adhd comfortable enough to succeed. Ask for the accommodation.... Also, you may want to explore looking into the laws that provide reasonable accommodations to you, and place them, as a footnote to the email. I'm sure they will comply.
