Accept, Embrace, Empower - Autism & ADHD

06/02/2026

I’m heading back to uni in a few weeks to start my thesis and I thought I’d share some accommodations that have helped me in the past and that I’ll probably be asking for again.

Let’s be real though - the most important accommodation is an accessible process for requesting them.

Support shouldn’t require chasing specialists for reports and multiple appointments all the while we’re attending classes just to have our needs met.

Accessibility that requires forms, proof and multiple appointments isn’t accessibility, it’s another barrier.

Today is the final part in our work resource series, and it is all about navigating workplace issues. Like everything we do, this is peer-led and goes deep into those all too familiar topics such as misunderstandings, conflict, burnout and workplace challenges arise. We talk about the kinds of situations we often find ourselves in... and the practical things we have found helpful when we needed to protect ourselves or advocate for change. You will get tips, advice and most importantly we look at workplace issues through a lens of safety, clarity and self-advocacy, rather than assuming the problem sits with you.
