Reasonable Adjustments at Interview
"I have Neurodiverse conditions which affect my cognitive processes and short-term memory.
I have requested the interview questions in advance to help
me better structure my responses, as difficulties with short-term memory and
auditory processing can cause me to forget or misunderstand the question when
asked.
My responses may appear to overlap or relate to different questions due to my thought processes, and I’ve asked for my answers to be considered collectively to avoid any misunderstanding.
I have an anxiety-triggered stammer and the possibility of selective mutism, as such occasionally I may need to provide written responses, however I will always try to respond verbally.
I have requested that the interview be broken into smaller sessions, ideally breaks of 5 to 10 minutes between each question to give me time to recompose and manage any anxiety."
They have comeback to ask what my specific conditions are. I completed a neurodiversity in the workplace course through the union sometime ago, but cannot remember if they are allowed to ask what my disability is? I was sure it was just the RAs I required that they were allowed to ask.
