N2 - This paper examines the IT workforce management practices of auticon, a pioneering international IT consultancy firm from Germany that employs autistic individuals as its core workforce to deliver economically and socially sustainable IT services. Our analysis of auticon's approach allows us to distil four key workplace inclusion lessons for companies on how to best integrate neurodivergent professionals in the workplace and three lessons relevant to the IT industry on its journey to become more equitable and inclusive.
