## Summary

auticon US describes itself as an IT and neuroinclusion consultancy whose consultants are autistic professionals, and traces the global group's origins to Germany (auticon Berlin, 2011) and Nordic Unicus work (2009).

## Useful Claims

- auticon US calls itself **"the largest majority-autistic company in the world"** and says it has delivered **IT solutions** harnessing neurodivergent talent **since 2009**.
- The page describes **autistic DNA** in its consultant workforce but does **not** use the word **exclusively** — it emphasizes majority-autistic composition and neurodivergent hiring.
- **Dirk Müller-Remus established auticon in Berlin in 2011**, inspired by his autistic son's employment experience.
- **Unicus** launched in **Norway in 2009** as a related autistic IT-professional social enterprise; the page states auticon and Unicus **joined forces in 2023**, becoming a group employing **over 500 people across 15 markets** with **more than 75%** neurodivergent workforce — group-level figures, not US-only headcount.
- **Vance Checketts** is named **CEO of auticon US as of March 11, 2024**; his bio mentions service on Utah-linked boards including the **Technology Initiative Advisory Board of the Utah System of Higher Education** — a personal board affiliation, not a Utah office address.

## Reliability Notes

Self-reported. **Does not mention Salt Lake City** or any Utah street address. The lead claim of an exclusively autistic consultant workforce is **stronger than this page supports** — "majority-autistic" and "neurodivergent talent" are the captured phrases.
