Reasonable adjustments

CFen

I was recently diagnosed with ASD - I am a 30 year old female and work full time in a finance role.

I have asked my employer for reasonable adjustments and HR have advised me that they wouldn't consider anything until I present a report from an expert which identifies what RAs may be beneficial for me. Apparently this is usual procedure, but I don't have anything like this, and I'm not sure if I can obtain it. Has anyone been told anything similar, or know what the law says on this?

Thanks

  • I presented my diagnosis report to our occupational health. The only reasonable adjustment given in my report was to take regular breaks during long meetings (or avoid them all together).

    Occupational health added some others ie Only be given one task at a time. Be given clear written instructions. Communication via email or Jabba (internal online chat). Finally, take regular breaks.

    I also wear noise cancelling headphones :)
