Who we are:
We are the UK's leading charity for autistic people and their families. Since 1962, we have provided support, guidance, and advocacy, campaigning for better rights, services, and opportunities to create an inclusive society.
We support over 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK, along with their families and carers, during key moments and challenging times such as diagnosis, education, and employment.
We aim to improve public understanding of autism, work with businesses and authorities to create autism-friendly spaces, and influence policy changes.

We bring autism expertise and knowledge, empowering people to maximize their involvement and inclusion in their communities.
Our person-centered care approach uses evidence-based, outcome-focused assessments to support individuals in living the life they choose and understanding their diagnosis.
While we have made progress, there is still much to do to increase opportunities, reduce social isolation, and build a brighter future for autistic people. With your help, we can make a difference.
You will join our local and national teams, and we will support you every step of the way.
