Autistic people and their families have told us that reducing anxiety and understanding sensory processing in autism are key research priorities for them.

Over a year, a monthly gift of £5 could help us understand one child's experience of sensory difficulties and anxiety. This is crucial, cutting-edge research that could help thousands more children cope with anxiety better.

Your monthly support for projects like this can also help us to:

• fund other research areas to improve lives
• increase public understanding
• campaign for services that work
