Subject: Interview Adjustments for [My Name] - [Job Title]

Dear [Hiring Manager Name],

Thank you for the opportunity to interview for the [Job Title] position. I am looking forward to our conversation.

To ensure I can perform at my best during the assessment, I would like to request a few small adjustments:
- Could you please share the interview questions or the general structure of the call 24 hours in advance?
- I would also appreciate having my camera off if we are using video, as it helps me focus more intensely on the technical content of our discussion.

These adjustments allow me to demonstrate my skills more effectively. Looking forward to meeting the team.

Best regards,
[Your Name]

2. Contextual disclosure (live)

Verbal script for framing your neurodivergent traits as strengths.

Verbal script
I'm a neurodivergent professional, which means I process information a bit differently. In a work context, this translates to high attention to detail and a natural ability to spot patterns others might miss. Sometimes, I may take a moment longer to process a complex question before answering - it's just my way of ensuring I provide the most thorough and accurate response possible.

3. Onboarding & access to work

Formally requesting long-term support once you've secured the role.

Access request template
Subject: Workplace Adjustment Request - [Your Name]

Hi [Manager/HR Name],

I am very excited to be joining the team! As part of my onboarding, I'd like to share some environment-based adjustments that help me maintain peak productivity.

Specifically, I would like to discuss:
1. Written briefs: receiving task instructions in writing via Slack/email following any verbal meetings.
2. Noise management: the use of noise-cancelling headphones in the office.
3. Access to Work: I intend to apply for the UK Access to Work grant for specialised ergonomic equipment/software and would appreciate your support with the employer portion of that application.

Could we schedule 15 minutes this week to discuss how we can implement these?

Best,
[Your Name]
