Neurodiversity in the workplace

Thanks Mark. I’m actually interested to do this as full time as possible currently this is an extra that I don’t get paid for. 

Thank you lain, this is most helpful. We are really trying hard to be as inclusive as possible. This will hopefully bridge the gap between people who are proactive about asking for adjustments at work and people who are shy or curious. 

Thank you for your advice. Luckily the senior management are very open to ND and we have several employees who have Autistic children. 

Even more fed up now - as even that short version was quarantined by the filters, but now thankfully released. So I daren't even fix my "apologies" typo! 

NAS offers a variety of resources that can be accessed via this page:

https://www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/employment

[Apologises that I haven't linked all of them here individually; I'm fed up (to the point of potentially quitting) with this forum categorising comprehensive replies as spam, even when they only refer to internal NAS resources].

make sure to include your supervisors because as supervisors and bosses in control positions they are likely sociopaths or pshycopatjs themselves, you should hint to them at that and hint that they maybe neurodivergent on that ground lol

I just found this thanks to a news report this morning. This may help for work specific questions?

I would recommend researching them from their reviews on a site like goodreads.com rather than Amazon as Amazon tends to get influenced by the publishers so always seems to get positive reviews.

If any are not in print then they are available to download from free from the Libgen network - I'm not sure if posting links to this is approved here.

This should cover most bases to start with.

Such a good idea. I can't help, but this is great and your role is great!
