/ Make a difference

We are the national charity for autistic children and young people.

Our colleagues do extraordinary work that transforms the lives of autistic children and young people and we are passionate about supporting them and developing their potential.

Join our inclusive team today and make a real difference.

Our culture

We want our organisation to be a place that embraces, enables and champions equality, diversity and inclusion. We want autistic children and young people, our staff, volunteers, supporters and, in fact, anyone who comes into contact with us to feel they belong and can bring their whole professional selves to Ambitious about Autism.

Our work

We started as one school and have become a movement for change.

We see a world where autistic children and young people can be themselves and realise their ambitions. Understanding, flexibility, the right support at the right time. That’s all we ask.
