Support for neurodivergent nursing staff

Some points to remember: 

• What works will be different for each individual.
• As many people have more than one neurodivergent condition, effects may overlap and therefore a of variety strategies and adjustments may be required.
• Many of the divergent conditions are part of a spectrum and therefore people may not experience all of the difficulties or may do so at different levels and at different times.
• In many cases the neurodivergent nurse is the best person to know what will work for them, along with recommendations from diagnostic reports.
• Nurses still need to meet all the professional requirements to be safe and effective practitioners and meet standards of competency.
