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

  • Hi Marnee!  I'm sorry to hear you are struggling at the moment.  Employment can be difficult for many autistic people, and I'm glad to see some of our community members have already given you some advice and tips on what you're looking for.

    NAS also has some resources about reasonable adjustments and legal protections for autistic people in the workplace, which can be found here and here.

    Since you mentioned you also have anxiety and depression, you may like to have a look at the mental health section of our website which has useful links to information and advice about a range of mental health issues: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/mental-health.
