Dear Manager

Dear Manager: How to Support Your Autistic Employees is a compassionate, research-driven guide that bridges the gap between good intentions and meaningful action in the workplace. Written by an autistic professional who has lived both the challenges and triumphs of working life, this book blends raw personal insight with powerful research to show you exactly how to unlock the potential of autistic talent.

Through real-life case studies, nuanced explanations of key concepts like masking and intersectionality, and practical advice on reasonable adjustments, communication and sensory needs, you'll learn how to recognise and support autistic talent in ways that help everyone succeed.

Whether you're leading a team, shaping HR policy or simply seeking to be a better ally, this is not just a manual; it's an invitation to understand, adapt and champion neurodiversity. With reflection questions at the end of each chapter, Dear Manager is as much a toolkit for change as it is a deeply human call to action.

With unemployment rates for autistic adults at a staggering 71% in the UK, this book hands you the tools to change that. If you want to move beyond tick-box inclusion to genuine empowerment, this book will show you how.
