About Autistica

Autism is a lifelong developmental condition affecting 1 in 100 people in the UK. Only 15% of those will ever find full-time work and 25% of children born with autism will speak few or no words in their lifetime.

We are the UK’s leading autism research charity.

We fund world-class science to improve our understanding of autism and give autistic people the chance to lead longer, healthier and happier lives. Our work is:

• speeding up diagnosis and access to support for families
• finding ways to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression in autism
• tackling the high rates of early death in autism
