We transform lives by providing support, information and practical advice for the 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK, as well as their three million family members and carers. Since 1962, autistic people have turned to us at key moments or challenging times in their lives, be it getting a diagnosis, going to school or finding work.
We change attitudes by improving public understanding of autism and the difficulties many autistic people face. We also work closely with businesses, local authorities and government to help them provide more autism-friendly spaces, deliver better services and improve laws.
We provide an important service to help autistic children and young people make friends, develop their social skills and develop a sense of independence and confidence. It is a safe and supportive space for those with autism to be accepted for who they are and to be able to try new things and have fun while they do!
