Autistica

General Information

Autistica is the leading autism research charity. Our vision is a long, healthy, happy life for autistic people and their families.

We harness the potential of cutting-edge science to improve the lives of everyone affected by autism by:

• Improving outcomes for autistic people of all ages through world-class research.
• Growing autism research through innovative collaborations with other funders, campaigning for increased state investment and developing capacity and infrastructure within the research community.
• Bridging the gaps between researchers, policymakers and autistic people, ensuring that services are evidence-based and research responds to the autism community’s needs and desires.
