Are there any other autistic teachers out there? I’m newly diagnosed and really struggling at work. They’re sympathetic but I’m wondering what adjustments could possibly be made. (I didn’t know I was autistic when I started my latest job in September, having always assumed everyone else was equally stressed or that I was just a bit more feeble than the others)
Has anyone used the government Access to Work scheme? One of my sons suggested I ask for funding for better hearing aids to cope with the noise. I also have a hearing impairment.
Thanks!

I have been looking at the DWP Health Adjustments Passport (and Guidance Notes) to help me think wider about potential Reasonable Adjustments. Wondered if you might find it useful too?
