Project management training

Hi all. I would be interested in hearing if anyone on the spectrum has had problems with project management training? I am trying to do a PRINCE2 course, but I am really struggling to get my head around all the concepts, interconnecting parts and concurrent processes. I have failed my foundation exam and I don't know if it is that I am not trying hard enough (I have done two 12 hour days to try and pass the exam which others on the course have managed).

I don't know if it is something that my brain can't cope with, or if I am just being rubbish as I am normally really good at remembering things.  I would be interested to hear if anyone has had similar experiences.  I am formally diagnosed with ASD level 1.

  • I did prince 2 in my 20's and really really struggled. Once I got it I never used it once, despite the fact that everyone at the organisation was supposed to do Prince 2 standards for projects. 

    Tried to train for a new IT data analysis system last year (in my 40's) could not keep up at all. I feel like my ability to retain information has greatly diminished over the years! Didn't help that the system used stupid names for parts of the system that have nothing to do with the services they could provide.
