Hi Sophie,
It's awesome that you're looking for ways to speed up your work, and I totally get feeling slow sometimes. I've felt like that my entire life, but it hasn't stopped me from reaching my goals, like getting a good education and a decent job. Here are some tips that might help: Break tasks into smaller steps, prioritize important tasks, set time limits, create a routine, use tools for organization, practice mindfulness if possible, always seek advice, and celebrate progress. Everyone works at their own pace, and your learning disorder, autism, and ADHD don't limit your potential. Focus on your strengths and keep pushing towards your goals. I'm sure you will achieve amazing things!

While you are being trained, be sure to ask and then write down what you should be Prioritizing. Do this for like a general work flow at first. Then do this for specific tasks once you have a grasp on what your work flow is for that specific task.
Then after a week or two, repeat your work flow process with whoever trained you. This way you can revisit your priority lists and work flow habits. This will give you and other people the opportunity to tell you what should be prioritized and allow you ask informed questions about why or how to go about it.
Most managers or supervisors have a specific list of things they look for to identify someone is doing work to a satisfactory level. It can be difficult to get that specific list out of them because the other things not on that list are also important and should be done. But you can identify your own way to get it and be well organized so you can have everything you need at hand.
Develp and practice this technique untill you own it, this way you will embrace it through practice and may it part of your day by day.
Hope this helps!

I appreciate you sharing that, and it’s great that you want to improve your speed! Everyone learns and works at their own pace, and that’s okay—what matters is finding strategies that work best for you. Try breaking tasks into smaller steps, using timers or structured routines to stay on track, and eliminating distractions to help with focus. If reading or processing information takes time, using audiobooks, visual aids, or hands-on learning might make things easier. It’s also important to be patient with yourself—speed will come with practice and consistency. Find tools and techniques that support your strengths, and don’t hesitate to ask for accommodations or resources that can help!
Thank you for taking the time to help.
