Jodie Hill makes psychological safety the threshold issue for neurodivergent lawyers

All Things Practice's interview with Jodie Hill, founder of Thrive Law and a neurodivergent solicitor, emphasizes that many neurodivergent employees do not feel psychologically safe disclosing a diagnosis or assessment process. Hill argues that support must be individualized, co-designed and based on actual work needs rather than assumptions about a neurotype. For law firms, the practical lesson is that policy alone is not enough; managers need skills, permission and accountability to have useful conversations before problems escalate.
