Exploring the Overlap Between
Neurodiversity and Chronic Health Conditions

You’re Invited: CareScribe Roundtable Series

About the event

Join an exclusive round table event designed specifically for assessors, creating a focused and highly interactive environment.

This session will explore the discussion topic:

“The co-occurrence of neurodiversity-adjacent symptoms and chronic health conditions.”

Together, we’ll examine real-world scenarios where neurodivergent traits and chronic illnesses intersect. The discussion will also consider individuals who may not identify as neurodivergent but whose chronic health conditions present similar workplace challenges.

The session is structured to move beyond theory into practical application. After an initial facilitated round table, attendees will break into smaller groups to:

• Explore specific conditions in depth
• Identify meaningful questions to better understand individual needs
• Consider appropriate support strategies
• Discuss how support may vary in atypical workplaces
• Share approaches for justifying recommendations to employers or the DWP (for Access to Work cases)

We’ll then regroup to exchange insights, creating a collaborative learning experience built on shared expertise.

Why attend?

This event intends to be more than just a discussion, it’s a practical, peer-led learning experience.

With such a limited group size, every attendee has the opportunity to actively participate, ask questions, and contribute meaningfully.
