Hello, and thanks for your question.

It may help to hire a tutor to help you work on executive functioning such as planning, note-taking, recording lectures and listening back to them later, organizing notes and processing information more effectively. This can take a lot of work but will help you build skills needed for the workforce. Tutors are often very helpful in this regard.
