Workplace Self-Advocacy
You're struggling at work because of your neurodivergence but don't know how to ask for adjustments
Steps
- Identify your specific struggles: is it noise, meetings, written communication, time management, or social demands?
- Research what reasonable adjustments exist for your challenges (many are simple and cost-free)
- Decide whether to disclose formally or request adjustments informally — both are valid approaches
- Frame requests around productivity: 'I work better when...' rather than 'I can't cope with...'
- Document your requests and any agreements in writing (email follow-up after conversations)
What you need
Knowledge of your rights, a list of specific adjustments that would help
Why it works
Many neurodivergent adults struggle silently at work, burning out from masking and compensating. Simple adjustments — noise-cancelling headphones, flexible start times, written instructions — can dramatically reduce cognitive load and improve performance.
Real-world example
A software developer with autism was close to quitting because of open-plan office noise and mandatory social events. After requesting noise-cancelling headphones and optional attendance at socials, their productivity increased and their anxiety decreased significantly.
Troubleshooting
- You don't have to disclose your diagnosis to request adjustments. 'I focus better with...' is enough
- If your employer is unsupportive, seek advice from your local employment rights service, your union, or an advocacy organisation
- Start with one or two small adjustments. Success builds confidence to ask for more
