Workplace Self-Advocacy

You're struggling at work because of your neurodivergence but don't know how to ask for adjustments

Steps

  1. Identify your specific struggles: is it noise, meetings, written communication, time management, or social demands?
  2. Research what reasonable adjustments exist for your challenges (many are simple and cost-free)
  3. Decide whether to disclose formally or request adjustments informally — both are valid approaches
  4. Frame requests around productivity: 'I work better when...' rather than 'I can't cope with...'
  5. 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.

Age guidance

Adults only.

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.
