Autistic people are four times more likely to experience anxiety disorders than non-autistic people. Anxiety limits lives, isolating autistic people and cutting them off from the activities and people they love.

At Autistica, we’re working to make sure effective treatments for anxiety are available to all autistic people who need it by 2030. With your support, we can raise funds for critical anxiety breakthroughs to transform autistic people’s lives.

Watch our Anxiety explained film to learn more about the driving factors behind anxiety in autistic people.

This animation was created with members of the Autistica Insight Group and academics at City University.

Donate a breakthrough

We’re working with researchers across the UK, as well as Government and NHS bodies, to develop personalised anxiety treatments and support services that can meet the unique needs of
every autistic person. However, we cannot carry out this work without your support.

Please donate now, so we can ensure autistic people can live their lives free of debilitating anxiety.
