[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 200047, member: 2672"] I need to step in here as a lot of what you have said in this post needs addressing. Many medical reports/psychologist reports do not provide the detail of the varied reasonable adjustments someone could receive. This is because to do this you'd have to assess every variable scenario, which just doesn't happen. This makes the whole process of knowing what adjustments you need a minefield to navigate, especially when these forms of assessments are new to you or if you have not had significant experience in the workplace (academic and work place adjustments tend to be very different). This means a lot of people don't know what adjustments they need, let alone what they can ask for. Also, you do not need to have a formal diagnosis to ask for adjustments. The idea that people who have self-diagnosed, especially given current wait times for professional diagnosis (sometimes over six years), means that people can "cure" their neurodivergence is (put frankly) a flawed argument. Getting questions in advance is actually a fairly common adjustment too - I have seen this done across a number of organisations and to differing levels, from more guidance on the questions to a specific list of exact questions being provided.
