ACAS has published updated guidance to help employers create neuro-inclusive organisations. They have identified key barriers such as:

• Lack of organisational knowledge about neurodiversity
• Managers struggling to have conversations about reasonable adjustments
• Lack of psychological safety within organisations

Employers can provide additional assistance and support by:

• Employing skilled managers.
• Having processes to ensure that if line managers change, adjustments and information about the employee is passed over so the support they receive continues.
• Setting up a support network for neurodivergent employees.
• Offering training and developmental opportunities for managers and/or employees to become neurodiversity champions.
• Providing a mentor or buddy when learning new tasks.
• Regularly highlighting what support is available inside and outside the organisation.
