Autism and Asperger Syndrome are lifelong conditions which isolate a person from the world as we know it. They affect the ability to communicate, form relationships and understand everyday activities.

The Society has been supporting families in Scotland affected by autism for over 40 years. We now directly support over 500 people as well as offering consultancy to hundreds more and training to professionals working in the field of autism.

You can help improve the lives of people with autism. Make a donation now!

The aims of the Society are:

  • to provide high quality support and opportunities to people with autism
  • to raise public awareness of autism and how it affects people's lives
  • to influence policy and practice by working with a range of organisations
