Supporting Neurodivergent Team Members: A Practical Guide for Managers

Most managers want to get it right. Very few were ever shown how.

This practical 19-page guide gives managers and HR teams the words, tools and confidence to support neurodivergent colleagues, from the first interview to long-term retention. It's written in plain English, with real-life scenarios and ready-to-use language, so you can put it into practice the same day.

What's inside:

• Bring them in. Inclusive recruitment, handling adjustment requests and onboarding that sets people up to succeed.
• Work well together. Sensory overload, eye contact, home working, what to do when someone becomes overwhelmed, and keeping adjustments working.
• Help them grow and stay. Rejection sensitivity, the Clean Feedback method, better 1-2-1s, fair progression and retention.

Plus a one-page quick-reference checklist, "Say this, not that" phrase boxes throughout, and guidance on the role of HR and manager training.

Who it's for: line managers, team leaders, hiring managers and HR professionals.
