I dream of the day when autism is better understood.
- Lisa, whose son has autism
There are 700,000 autistic people in the UK, but there is no consistent, coordinated approach for them to get the right support. In fact, some of them receive no support at all. We are determined to change this, and we need your help.
Working with the University of Cambridge, ACE will be the first national clinical and research centre for autistic people in the UK. It will bring a unique mix of compassionate and experienced professionals together, to support autistic people across the spectrum, whatever their age, life stage or challenge.
"I want to see a seamless clinical pathway, for toddlers, children, teenagers, and adults, getting a timely diagnosis – within weeks, not months or years – and receiving quality support at any point in their lives, when they need it." - Professor Simon Baron-Cohen
