do you find that written communication is easier? (perhaps because I can take my time?)
I am finding verbal communication really challenging also because my listening skills are out of whack. |
Yes, I prefer writing to speaking. I did the former professionally, before my TBI, so my hold skills are pretty good. As you say, it gives one the chance to compose the message in our own time, without interruption (I lose my train of thought when interrupted) and can be checked before it's sent.
Whenever possible I write, limit the number of participants in a face to face verbal exchange and avoid the phone like the plague.
