National Autistic Society

The National Autistic Society is a dedicated charity committed to transforming the lives of autistic individuals and their families. Established in 1962, the organization tirelessly campaigns for policy change, public awareness, and the protection of rights for autistic people across the UK. Through various grassroots initiatives, the Society addresses issues such as inequality and misunderstanding, focusing on impactful campaigns that resonate with the community's needs.

In addition to advocacy, the National Autistic Society provides a wide range of services, including diagnostic services, autism training, adult residential support, and educational services through its family of schools known as Cullum Centres. They also promote community support via social groups and outreach programs.

The Society encourages public engagement through volunteering, donating, or becoming a member, fostering a collective movement towards greater acceptance and understanding. Their efforts extend to improving mental health and education, ensuring that autistic voices are heard and valued in society.
