Due to poor knowledge/awareness of neurodivergence in nursing, many practice assessors or supervisors with panic when a student discloses a neurodiversity and feel they are unable to give the support the student needs. Its not for a lack of wanting to support the student. As leaders and supporters of health professionals it is important that we raise awareness and support our assessors and supervisors to feel confident in providing reasonable adjustments.

What can help to create a safe enviroment for a person to disclose they are neurodivergent is time and calm of the practice assessor. On the ward its always such a busy and noisy environment. As a student, you just try to keep up with the staff, seeking and taking learning opportunities, while trying to absorb all the information given and making sure you have your e-pad signed off.

Within the workplace, the availability of safe spaces to be able to disclose information can be limited, making it difficult to share

When disclosing that I am dyslexic, I am asked to identify what reasonable adjustments I need at the beginning of the placement. However, often I don't know what these will be as it's a new experience and environment for me. This question doesn't get revisited again throughout my placement and is pretty much forgotten about. I think a regular review of reasonable adjustments is important to ensure these remain current and effective. I believe this should be included within the midpoint reviews led by the practice assessor and detailed on the Epad if relevant.

Disclosure can be scary. Hopefully cathartic for people and encouraging for friends and colleagues

As a neurodivergent educator, it is kind of scary knowing I will be having a neurodivergent student with the same condition. There's the fear of not being able to manage their presentation as people present differently or a clash in personalities.

It is scary to think about it because you never know how it would be received by the other end. It is widely accepted now, but sometimes, in a highly stressful environment in healthcare where it demands a lot of things of staff we never know how it will be perceived.

I find disclosure as a very important opportunity; it could help in new environments, but it requires a lot of courage, which not everyone has.

Disclosure always feels like a double edged sword because it can be very freeing and validating when people are receptive to it, but there's always a lot of fear about it being perceived negatively and being taken to assume that you will be a difficult or "high needs" person in a negatively loaded way.

Can be a lottery. Some placements it was the best thing I could have done and allowed me to get on with my work. Some placements treated me horribly as a result and told me I wasn't right for the workplace. And some infantilised me and tried to kind of 'cure me' with strategies and thought they were being helpful

Individuals may find it difficult to disclose their condition due to fear of stigma, discrimination, and negative past experiences, particularly in environments where psychological safety is lacking.

Can be scary. Often can be validating and the best thing you've done but often can cause even more challenges and you wish you hadn't disclosed. As a neurodivergent line manager/educational supervisor I hope to create a safe space for individuals to disclose and advocate for them

With neurodivergence being villainised by the media and there being so much misinformation available, disclosure can feel very daunting. I have had many experiences now in learning environments, practice placement, and workplaces where disclosure has been misunderstood - even in the mental health settings I'm training in. It does not take a lot to help someone feel psychologically safe in these settings, but unfortunately we are still far from having inclusive workplaces in healthcare. Neurodivergent people make fantastic healthcare professionals; it's time the system accommodates for different brains so that our strengths can shine through and ultimately, patient care can improve.
