Why this matters
Unclear instructions. Meetings with no warning. Office politics nobody admits exist. Tasks multiplying quietly in the background.
The Neurodivergent Office Survival Playbook gives you practical ways to handle these problems without running yourself into the ground.
It includes help with rejection sensitivity, justice sensitivity, overwhelm, communication and workplace energy.
Over 30 pages of clear tools, scripts and examples.
Built from lived experience
I created this from my experience as an autistic adult with inattentive ADHD.
I spent years trying to work out rules that other people seemed to know automatically.
This playbook contains the practical things I wish someone had explained earlier.
After reading it, you'll have:
- Useful words ready when your mind goes blank
- A clearer idea of what is expected from you
- Ways to ask for time, clarity and support
- Fewer interactions to second-guess afterwards
- A practical plan for difficult working days
- Tools you can return to when work becomes too much

Questions
I'm not formally diagnosed — is this still for me?
Yes. This is built for your lived experience, not a label on a form.
How long does it take to work through?
Most people read it in one sitting, then return to sections as they need them.
What format does it come in?
A downloadable PDF, plus the worksheets as separate printable pages.
Is this written for ADHD, autism, or both?
Both. It's written from lived experience of being autistic and ADHD, and the tools apply broadly across neurodivergent experiences.
Can I print it?
Yes — it's designed to print cleanly, worksheets included.
