Hi. I’m curious as to whether I can become good speaking on the phone? Autism is a real barrier when it comes to using the phone and has always been a problem for me. I’m not too bad when I can plan for the call but when it’s a random call it throws me.
I’ve wanted to be an NHS ambulance call handler for some time and this year did a training assessment which I unfortunately failed, due to my skills or rather lack of skills when it comes to using the phone.
I was disappointed to fail as I’d been working hard at getting better on the phone and watched many training videos but it’s still a big problem for me.
