You do not have to tell your employer you are neurodivergent.

But if something at work is affecting you, talking about what support could help may be a useful step.

This could include support with communication, workload, concentration, sensory needs, organisation or working patterns.

You can ask for support in a way that feels right for you, and you do not always need to have a diagnosis to start that conversation.

If you are neurodivergent and finding parts of your job difficult, support may be available.

Reasonable adjustments could include things like clearer instructions, regular check ins, extra time to process information, quiet spaces, breaks or changes to how work is organised.

What helps one person may not help another, so it’s important to talk about what works for you.

Masking at work can be exhausting.

Some neurodivergent workers may hide parts of who they are to fit in or avoid judgement.

If you feel comfortable, speaking to someone you trust at work could help you explore what support might make your working day easier. Support could include adjustments to communication, workload, environment or routines.

Feeling too hot at work?

There is no legal maximum working temperature in the UK, but your employer should make sure the temperature is reasonable and that any health and safety risks are managed.

If the heat is affecting you, it may help to speak to your manager. You could ask about practical steps such as extra breaks, access to drinking water, fans or cooling equipment, changes to uniform or dress code, or adjustments to your working pattern where possible.

You should also raise concerns if you feel unwell, are working outdoors, doing physical work, wearing PPE, are pregnant, have a disability or health condition, or think the heat is making your work unsafe.
