About Resources for Autism

Our vision is a society where autistic people can live life as equal citizens in their community. Since our founding in 1997, Resources for Autism has supported autistic people and those who love and care for them. We help over 2,000 beneficiaries and 5,000 family members, providing practical support for those facing physical, social or emotional challenges. In addition to developing resilient parents and resilient children, we work to create resilient services that are aware and inclusive of neuro-divergence.

Working across Greater London and the West Midlands, we are driven by an ethos of radical acceptance of each individual as they are, working within their environment to transform their outcomes. In addition to our core work, we provide high-quality, hands-on training and consultancy around autism.
