I understand it cannot always be the case because costs time, money, etc but if it is possible it is well worth it. People facing these problems are neither your fault or theirs, these problems neither help them or you but at the same time your safety and theirs matter. It isn't an easy job there could be 100 of them and one of you, which is most likely just a guess. All the same, they have rights to education, etc whether are 2 or 102 and I only mean it roughy. Life is too short and we only live it once.
People who such problems as Autism and ADHD as I have said in past posts are mostly suggested to think before acting, struggle when to talk, when not to mainly in a busy place, room with a lot of people talking, etc, where they may worry they may not be heard, etc, they may struggle to keep up with each task and get it done correctly and the same time as other people, which they need support.
This is why they are better with one to one without other people, which is not always possible but is possible with as well so whoever is supporting them not only supports them with their work but if they want to ask the teacher etc something, someone to guide them when they can speak and cannot.
Another tip is if one-to-one support is not possible is to see their work is accessible, easy read, large print writing, coloured paper, writing, etc as possible, also I have forgotten to say that the same but not similar support who face Dyslexia. However, if you can provide a one-to-one support tutor and seeing that their work set up is accessible the better but I understand that isn't always possible because I know myself in colleges the support they can and cannot give can vary. Whereas my days in school there was no support at all. Also, power points are rather accessible too. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/inclusive-communication/accessible-communication-formats

As I said in one of the ADHD posts on depending I guess how many in your class, how many faces these problems I guess, and depending what where you work allows and doesn't allow. When I was working for Mencap I was part of a Self - Advocacy group called our Shout and we went to a lot of meetings etc and we used to have like traffic light card, which would show one when putting our hand letting know whoever was hosting the meeting we wanted to speak they would speak to us when we're finished talking to whoever else they were talking to. It sounds rather schoolish etc, which don't want in every situation but as crazy it sounds for what I have seen in most situations it works maybe a bell or whitise etc to try to get a big group, big class, etc's attenstion.
