If something at work is difficult, you are not expected to manage it alone.

For neurodivergent employees, reasonable adjustments such as clear instructions, changes to working arrangements or different ways of communicating can make day‑to‑day work more manageable.

Talking to your manager or employer about what helps you work well can be a positive first step.

You do not always need a diagnosis to ask for support at work.

Some people may be waiting for an assessment, unsure whether they are neurodivergent, or not ready to share a diagnosis.

If you are struggling with something at work, you can still speak to your employer about what support may help you do your job.
