- More Info: Autistic adults often have extraordinary technical or cognitive abilities, yet many find it difficult to secure or maintain mainstream employment. The ongoing STEM skills shortage poses a real challenge to UK businesses. auticon recognises this potential and is the first enterprise to exclusively employ autistic adults as consultants. By creating autism-positive work environments and offering highly individualised, sustained support mechanisms to autistic employees, auticon provides its corporate clients with a means to tap into the amazing talents of autistic people while creating well paid long term careers for its team. The auticon business model is based on the traditional IT consultancy model: highly talented IT experts are employed by auticon on a permanent basis. Each individual’s skill set is then matched to a specific client project. Corporate clients are then charged a day rate for the auticon consultant, at a level that matches industry standards. The extraordinary talents of its autistic consultants are what makes auticon unique. Pattern recognition, sustained concentration, exceptional attention to detail – these are just some of the cognitive strengths that our consultants bring to their client engagements.
