Welcome to Autistica
Autistica funds medical research to understand the causes of autism, improve diagnosis, and develop new treatments and interventions. We are the UK's leading autism medical research charity, and we are committed to funding translational research that will make a difference to people's lives.
Happy World Autism Awareness Month!
At the start of April we launched our One in a Hundred report, featuring the findings of our consultation with over 1000 people with autism and their families. Please download your copy here. You can find out about our other plans to celebrate World Autism Awareness Month here.

Our researchSince our founding in 2004, we have funded leading scientists across the UK in areas of genetic, behavioural, and neurological research to explore early diagnosis, interventions, and the biological basis of autism. As well as supporting discrete projects, we have been investing in the nation’s autism research community, attracting new talent and developing research infrastructure. We have funded fellowships to attract young scientists to the field, and seed funded the Welsh Autism Research Centre, a brain tissue bank at Oxford, and ASD-UK, a research database for families who want to take part and learn more about research.
