Most “autism at work” advice fails in two ways: It leans on stereotypes (social skills, eye contact, “high/low functioning”). It gives vague guidance (“be understanding”) without changing the systems that create friction. Autism isn’t one profile. It’s a different neurotype interacting with an environment. When the environment is predictable, clear, and sensory-considerate, autistic people often thrive—and teams become more effective for everyone. This is a practical guide fo

Short version: autistic burnout is not ordinary “stress”. It’s a prolonged state of exhaustion, reduced capacity and often a temporary loss of skills, typically triggered by chronic load, sensory overwhelm and a mismatch between expectations and support. It is preventable—and recoverable—when you redesign work and honour your legal duties. What autistic burnout is (and isn’t) Peer-reviewed studies define autistic burnout as a syndrome arising from chronic life stress and a m

Dyslexia is not a measure of intelligence; it’s a difference in how information is processed—especially around phonological decoding, working memory, and processing speed. In modern workplaces, the biggest barrier isn’t spelling its workflow designed for constant, rapid reading and immaculate, on-the-spot writing. Fix the workflow and most “performance issues” evaporate into simple design problems. What dyslexia typically affects (and what it doesn’t) Research consistently li

Most “communication issues” with autistic colleagues aren’t deficits in one direction. They’re mismatches between expectations, pace, salience, and style—the double empathy problem (Milton, 2012). When neurotypical norms are treated as the default, autistic communication gets misread as blunt, disinterested, or slow; when autistic norms dominate, neurotypical cues can feel opaque or indirect. Neuro-inclusive teams fix the system so meaning travels reliably in both directions.
