If you work for a nurse agency or if you are part of a nursing recruitment agency, you will know how important it is to make sure that staff have the support they need at work. This doesn’t just apply to staff either, it also applies to those who work as carers or those who are seeking care jobs. Nurses are working to try and find out why there is a distinctive lack of information about people who are neurodiverse, and they are also trying to give them much better help for when they might need it. They won’t have to spend all of their energy trying to fit into a world that is neurotypical at the end of the day, and this is great. A lot of people have come out to say that staff now have limited options when it comes to declaring their disability and at the end of the day, it could be just whether they consider themselves to be disabled or not. One thing to know is that a lot of people don’t feel as though what they have is a disability. The disability option does, however, need to include more options that helps to support the neurodivergent community.

Identifying staff who do not have visible disabilities is so important. This could help to lead to more reasonable adjustments being put into place by employers. It is important to know that nurses need to avoid burnout and they also need to try and stop the exodus with what is happening within the NHS. Only then can people begin to gain a bigger picture on how to support those who might be neurodiverse. With more training, more people can be included, and this is so important.
