If you've been recently diagnosed with ADHD and /or Autism, asking for reasonable adjustments at work is your right. Knowing what to ask for can feel challenging, especially if you're the first one to do so or your place of employment doesn't feel so neurodiverse-friendly yet. This week's episode hopes to offer you the insights to advocate for yourself and ask for what you need.
This week's guest is Hester Grainger, a neurodiversity consultant, co-founder of Perfectly Autistic and Perfectly ADHD, a radio presenter and former TV presenter diagnosed with ADHD in her forties.
Together with her husband Kelly, who is autistic and has ADHD, they run their neurodiversity consultancy, which works with organisations to raise awareness and acceptance of neurodiversity in the workplace and works with parents and education settings around autism and ADHD.
Hester is also mum to her two children, who are autistic and have ADHD.
