Tic Suppression Breaks

Is this considered a reasonable adjustment under UK Law?

Overview

Safe space to release suppressed tics.

For Employees

Holding in tics is painful and exhausting. Ask for a "safe space" (meeting room/car) to let them out so you can focus.

For Employers

Suppression drastically reduces productivity. A 5-minute break to reset is better than an hour of struggling.

Key Considerations

  • Private room access.
  • 5 mins per hour.
