Equality Act 2010 — Your Legal Duty

Under the Equality Act 2010, neurodivergent conditions including ADHD, autism, dyslexia and dyspraxia can be recognised as disabilities where they have a substantial, long-term effect on day-to-day activities. As a sport provider, your club has a legal duty to make reasonable adjustments to avoid placing neurodivergent participants at a substantial disadvantage. This is not optional guidance.

Why girls are estimated higher

Girls and women are frequently under-identified — not because they’re “less neurodivergent”, but because presentations can look different (more masking, more internalising, fewer “classic” behaviours), and criteria historically leaned toward male patterns. In grassroots sport, that often shows up as anxiety, perfectionism, shutdowns, or “quiet compliance” until it suddenly isn’t.

This tool applies a modest uplift to girls/women estimates to reflect the real-world diagnosis gap and the likelihood of unmet needs. It’s a planning assumption, not a diagnosis. If you want clinical sources, start with NICE guidance on ADHD and autism: NICE.

About these figures & methodology

This tool produces planning estimates to help clubs design inclusive environments and anticipate support needs. It does not diagnose individuals and it does not imply that a club should collect medical information.

The “Impact Range” exists because real-world identification varies: some people are diagnosed, some are not, and many mask difficulties in sport settings until stress, fatigue, noise, or pressure removes their coping margin.
