Our Impact 2025-26


Discover the impact you've helped make possible this past year! Thank you for your ongoing support.

Read the report

Together, we’re creating a society that works for autistic people.

This year, more than 1.4 million people accessed our advice, guidance and support, finding the information, reassurance and connection they need to move forward. 

 

See the difference you're making

Joseph lives at one of our residential homes. Since moving in two years ago, Joseph has learned to cook and clean his room, as well as plan his day with his support worker. He has become more independent and enjoys visits from his family and weekly trips on the bus for a cake at his local café.

What your support makes possible:

  • trusted information when it matters most
  • support that builds confidence and independence
  • communities where people feel understood and less alone
  • progress towards a more inclusive society.

“We’re not asking for much; just the right to be happy and learn at school.” 
- Eden-Rose, who told her story as part of our Let’s Get Send Right campaign


Our campaign spotlights the experiences of autistic people and their families, and what they really need from the education system.

We gathered over 1,000 survey responses and supported people to share their views on the proposed SEND reforms with the Government.

Looking ahead

While we are proud of what we’ve achieved, we know there is much more to do. Our new Vision to Reality strategy for 2026-2030 was updated to respond to these challenges: the need for timely diagnosis, better mental health support, improved access to appropriate education and sustainable employment, and a stronger challenge to negative public attitudes and misinformation. As we move through 2026 and beyond, our focus is clear: to be more targeted, more responsive and more impactful than ever before. 

Together, we will keep working towards a society where autistic people are understood, accepted and able to thrive.
