Abbilee,
Welcome back. I think you should do the interview. Rather than ask for the questions to be written down, you may just ask that the questions be simplified. No complex questions with multiple concepts. Those complex questions can usually be broken down into a few separate questions. Often, our verbal recall is fine with a single subject but gets into trouble when the sentence gets more complex. A disability department might just be the place for you. It is important to remember that it is rare that our intelligence is effected by our injury. Memory and processing speed are the common problems. Plus, needing to work in a distraction free environment. We usually just have to learn to do things in a slower more methodical way. Using our brains is important but getting involved in conversation with too many people can be fatiguing. The important thing to remember is to limit the peaks of mental effort. Taking on a strenuous task with the idea of resting afterward is often a mistake. Regarding your neck, often the residual injury is not symptomatic in a physical way. It can be very subtle and cause inflammation that interrupts blood flow and nerve signals to the brain. Being disciplined with head and neck posture can reduce the chance of this subtle inflammation. Stay in touch. My best to you.

Thanks Mark, I'm definitely going to do it, but from a suggestion from a friend I'm going to call HR and discuss adjustments that could be made to help me to manage the interview.
I think simpler questions would be ideal but I also feel a bit unsure of asking for that adjustment to be made, I'd feel like I was being awkward, you know? |
