We are the UK’s leading autism research and campaigning charity . We focus on giving autistic people the opportunity to live long, happy, healthy lives. We do this by funding research, shaping policy and working with autistic people to understand their needs. With your help we can make more of a difference.

We know that every autistic person is different. And we know that autism comes with both strengths and challenges.

But there’s lots we don’t know.

Research is the best way to improve understanding, find new ways to support people and families, and change lives for the better.

We are making more of a difference by identifying problems, finding solutions, then advising and influencing key partners who can implement change.
