It was so inspiring to join auticon’s podcast, Autism: In conversation with auticon. I’ve spoken about this brilliant company quite a few times over the years, after investing in the business in 2016. auticon is an IT and recruitment firm that employs autistic people as technology consultants for businesses all around the world. The team is doing such important work to help people with autism find meaningful work, and help businesses understand the wonderful benefits of a neurodivergent workplace.
The podcast series has been such a powerful way of highlighting these benefits (and there are many benefits, no matter what sector your company operates in), while also discussing some of the challenges faced by adults with autism who are trying to find their place in workplaces that have rarely been designed with them in mind.
