🌂 Yesterday, we celebrated neurodiversity at our staff network event! Our theme? Umbrella's. Neurodiversity is our human umbrella. It covers a wide range of neurological differences. 🌈 #Neurodiversity #freetobedifferent @westmerciapolice

A common issue for our ND members is how tiring & stressful office work can be, due to forced socialising with colleagues & background noise

Ideas for adjustments:
💡 Noise-cancelling headphones
💡 Access to quiet workspace
💡 Homeworking
💡 Regular days away from the office

Rob shares how school was overwhelmingly tricky for him. Still, with the use of assistive technology, he could go back into education, found his love for creative writing and feels his dyslexia made his own company a success. Read the full story here: https://t.co/l3HyWH1Pok

This week we attended Let's Pause organised by @WOWestMercia for #WorldMenopauseDay. During menopause neurodiverse women may experience an increased interruption in executive functioning or emotional regulation. Many report that this led to the discovery of their neurodifference.
