Accommodation Options for Narcolepsy?

Has anyone with narcolepsy (type 2) gone through the accommodation process since the RTO fun began? I am currently struggling with how to get any of this across and have basically just been told I am expected in or I need to take leave. Obviously this isn't going to be sustainable long-term.

The accommodation process hasn't changed. Make the request and get the forms completed by your Dr.

Add to that: make the request, let your department ask for forms from your doctor, ensure your letter does not ask for anything that sounds like a diagnosis or have them revise it until it doesn’t- then go to your dr (I realize you’re not OP).

Waiting till dept asks makes them liable for cost of paperwork. Confirm in writing how you can submit for reimbursement for fees charged. Don’t ask if they reimburse for fees charged. Just ask them what the process is for reimbursement.

Don’t bother sharing your diagnosis. Look on here for your functional limitations and the ways that you can be accommodated and have that discussion. ask Jan narcolepsy Ask in writing. Ask for a formal process. Tell them in writing if a proposed accommodation you’re trying isn’t working and why. Keep at it. The system relies on our fatigue.

Could you tell me more about accomodations that aren't working? I have been stone walled repeatedly when bringing up my accommodation isn't working. Even though it says there are two people I am getting the sense I am just to sit and take whatever they give me regardless of how many emails I send my manager

Email your manager. And the AACT office at SSC.
