Plain Language Abstract 

This presentation is about neurodivergent people. It includes people who identify as autistic, ADHD, or dyslexic. 

We sent a survey out to the staff at the University of Melbourne. 

The people who filled out the survey told us if they were neurodivergent or neurotypical.  

The neurodivergent people told us if they had told people at their job that they were neurodivergent. This is sometimes called disclosure.  

Some people told their colleagues that they were autistic of ADHD. Some people chose not to tell people at work. 

People had different reasons for telling or not telling people about their identity. Some people said their choice made things better. Some people said their choice made things harder at work. 

We think work places need to learn more about neurodiversity.
