History
We all aspire, like many young people with autism. The purpose for this charity is to see those aspirations come true for the young people.
Being a parent of a young person with autism, I was able to see the aspirations in her although she was unable to express them herself. It allowed me to understand what life must feel like for those without a voice which then inspired me to form this organisation.
Our Mission
Is for the inclusion of autistic people in the world. We want to change the mindset around autism and embrace that by opening a world of opportunities for them.
We believe that no one should be excluded, irrespective of their disability. Equal opportunity should be for all. Please help us in changing the world’s attitude to autism.
Let’s celebrate and embrace our autistic people and make inclusion our priority.
