Ambitious about Autism is the national charity for children and young people with autism. We provide services, raise awareness and understanding, and influence policy. We exist to enable children and young people with autism to learn, thrive and achieve and through TreeHouse School we provide specialist education.

Our ambition is to make the ordinary possible for more children and young people with autism.

What's happening?

Campaign successes in 2011 and plans for 2012

2011 was our first year campaigning as Ambitious about Autism but our focus has remained on securing a better education for all young people with autism.

Our response to new research on early diagnosis of autism

Our response to research by the Centre for Research in Autism and Education (CRAE) which has found that measuring brain activity in infants as young as six months may help to predict the future development of autism symptoms.
