We are the UK’s leading autism research and campaigning charity. Our Mission is to create breakthroughs that enable all autistic people to live happier, healthier, longer lives. We do this through research, shaping policy and working with autistic people.

We know that every autistic person is different. And we know that being autistic 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 change lives for the better.

We are making more of a difference by

• Delivering and partnering on research across the UK
• Developing new therapies
• Campaigning for better services and shaping national policy
• Sharing evidence-based tools, resources and information.

Our 2030 Goals

We have six visionary and ambitious 2030 Goals, which are based on priorities set by the autistic community.
