Reasonable adjustments at work

Marnee101

Hi all,

I am currently on sick note due to autistic burnout, I was diagnosed recently at 39.

I also have high anxiety and depression. 

I have a carers passport which allows me to work from home temporarily, which required a autism diagnosis to become permanent.

My treatment at work has been poor due to my disabilities.

I have an OH appointment, which I pushed for.

Whats reasonable adjustments can I request that have worked for people?

I struggle with noise, light, instructions processing things communication on calls. Some days I just have fog in my brain. Nevertheless I have still excelled at work through masking until it became too much this year.

Any tips would be appreciated?

Thank you all

  • Good morning from America, Marnee101!

    If you’re wanting to know what accommodations you can ask for, JAN is the place to go. You can look up what you can have adjusted depending on what disabilities you have. As far as what ones you should ask for, that’s a good question, and you might speak with your GP about what ones might be good. You also have to accept that your employer might be able to reasonably do some of your requested accommodations, but might not be able to do all of them. It just depends on the employer, their rules, and their resources. Best wishes!
