Newly diagnosed 31 year old, adjustments that you haven’t already adapted to?
Being diagnosed at 31, or even in your early 20s, means that you’ve had to adapt to the social norms of the professional working world, or if you’re lucky, your work place have adapted around how your work.
I’ve just had a meeting with my manager and HR regarding any adjustments that they can offer me but I didn’t feel that anything could be given, as I’ve adapted to my surroundings and learnt about social cues and surrounded by like minded people.
Disregarding the usual offered adaptations of quiet work settings, noise cancelling headphones, flexibility on hours, structure to your day and tasks and pre-warning on any changes, what adjustments have you asked for, and been given that has completely changed the way you work?
