If you feel that you have traits of neurodivergence, please don’t hesitate to reach out via your GP so that you can get a diagnosis. It is nothing to be ashamed of as you will work more effectively when the outside world is kinder to you. It can be a double-edge sword but given that the NHS is a model employer they are obliged to help you thrive. And to the managers: Do not be that edge of the sword that harms your team member. Take time to listen to their needs and make reasonable adjustments, be as transparent as possible because ethnic minorities feel particularly disadvantaged when facing the power difference. Allowing equity means they can work as effectively and efficiently near to a neurotypical person. We repay recognition and appreciation by positive action i.e. staying focus, be committed, and not use our disability as a “card” but to challenge it.
