Creating a neuroinclusive workplace is not just the right thing to do: it’s a smart business decision.
auticon’s story is one of innovation, inclusion and incredible impact. We are a global consultancy firm and social enterprise helping organisations make sustainable changes to become authentically neuroinclusive.
auticon isn’t just a company: we are a movement.
As the largest majority-autistic company in the world, we have been delivering exceptional IT solutions harnessing the distinctive skills of our neurodivergent talent since 2009. We are proud to be living proof that neurodiversity works at work.
We are rewriting the rules of business by unlocking the power of neurodiversity.
Our comprehensive neuroinclusion services and unique lived experience are enabling forward-thinking organisations to attract, retain and reap the benefits of neurodivergent talent: driving the people sustainability agenda, providing a competitive advantage, and creating an enviable inclusive culture that delivers both economic and social value.
We conduct a neuroinclusion maturity assessment of your organisation using our proprietary cloud-based tool, ñima. This allows us to better understand your people, culture, and challenges before taking a data-driven approach to improving neuroinclusion.
We can assess the entire employee lifecycle, covering the areas that impact neurodivergent employees, their managers, and teams. This allows us to create a baseline and know what to recommend, where to start, and how to make significant and impactful changes in your organisation. Alternatively, you may assess one team or area of the employee lifecycle, such as recruitment.
We rely on a data-driven approach to enable you to track, measure, and report on successes. By the end of the assessment, you will know what you do well and where the gaps are. We help you to create a neuroinclusion pathway that complements your existing inclusion strategies and avoids silos of neuroinclusion.
We place our autistic talent into your organisation as technology consultants to build direct and deeper understanding of neurodivergence. Your organisation benefits from the unique skills that auticon’s autistic IT technologists bring to data science, cybersecurity and DevOps projects. Each consultant has the support of our Neuroinclusion Coaches, who support them to ensure positive outcomes.
This bespoke set of services helps you develop and implement your own neurodiversity programmes. Our subject-matter experts review your needs and design a pathway to realise your neuroinclusion ambitions. This can be in developing a neuroinclusion strategy or analysing specific processes, policies, and practices, presenting recommendations and supporting implementation.
We provide training workshops to address all audiences and subject areas we know can impact neuroinclusion for organisational practices and for individuals.
We offer accredited learning courses to increase overall awareness with our NeuroAware eLearning, create NeuroPositive Ambassadors across your organisation and reduce fear by creating NeuroConfident Managers.
We also offer bespoke training options to meet your specific needs.

Since the turn of the century, we have seen an exponential rise in the number of people on waiting lists for autism and ADHD diagnosis. As society better understands the various ways in which these conditions can present, more people of all ages are seeking diagnosis. These figures don’t include those who will go down the private route for diagnosis, those who choose not to get a medical diagnosis (but self-identify) and those who are neurodivergent but don’t realise it.
These people are skilled and can benefit a business, but may need support that managers aren’t able to provide just yet. In a 2024 UK survey, 54% of managers did not feel capable or confident to support neurodivergent individuals at work.27
