Practical ways to reduce memory load, make priorities visible and build systems that are easier to return to.

Name the point where things stall

A task may stall because it is unclear, too large, easy to forget, difficult to start or competing with too many demands. Notice the specific point of friction before redesigning the system.

The practical examples in ACAS guidance on neurodiversity adjustments show how written priorities, reminders and environmental changes can reduce avoidable load.

  • Capture tasks in one trusted place.
  • Turn the next action into something visible and specific.
  • Separate urgent work from work that is merely noticeable.

Adjustments for neurodiversity

Practical workplace guidance with specific examples of reasonable adjustments for neurodivergent workers, covering concentration, communication, organisation, sensory overload, time management and changes at work.

Evidence note

Authoritative Acas guidance specifically focused on neurodivergent workers. It gives practical examples such as quiet working areas, headphones, screen filters, written instructions broken into steps, visual planners, regular check-ins, additional reminders, extra planning time and advance warning of workplace changes. Acas stresses that adjustments should be based on the individual rather than diagnosis alone, and that workers do not necessarily need a formal diagnosis before support is considered.
