A FREE RESOURCE FROM TRANSFORMATIVE INCLUSION BY DESIGN
The Manual of Me
Your Team Doesn’t Need You to Diagnose Them. It Needs You to Understand Them.
The Manual of Me is a ten-minute tool that gives every person on your team a way to say what they need to do their best work, without anyone having to disclose anything.
- Removes the burden of disclosure from the individual
- Works because everyone completes it, not only those who identify as neurodivergent
- Replaces guesswork with information you can action instantly
- Costs nothing to implement and takes ten minutes to complete
Why it works
Every workplace has people quietly managing more than anyone around them realises: masking fatigue, sensory overload, the daily cost of fitting into a system that was never designed with them in mind.
The usual response is reactive. Someone discloses. An adjustment is made. The system itself stays the same, and the burden of asking, explaining, and justifying stays with the individual.
The Manual of Me starts somewhere else. It asks every single person on the team, not just those who identify as neurodivergent, to name what they need. That’s what removes the stigma, and what gives leaders real, actionable information instead of guesswork.
Before you hand this to your team, ask yourself: do you know what your people need to do their best work, or are you assuming you already do?
