How to communicate with a neurodivergent team.

An ambiguous 'yeah, sure' in response to something someone has worked hard on can genuinely spiral into 'I'm terrible at my job and I'm about to be let go.'

This isn't oversensitivity. It's Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria - a neurological response that affects a significant proportion of people with ADHD, and one that most managers in the film and TV industry have never heard of.

The antidote isn't excessive praise, which can make things worse. It's specific, honest, timely feedback, with the ‘why’ always included.

We've written a practical guide for HODs and managers on communicating with neurodivergent teams. No diagnosis required.
