Scottish Autism is dedicated to enabling autistic people to lead happy, healthy and fulfilling lives. When you support Scottish Autism, you are helping to enrich the lives of the estimated 56,000 autistic people across Scotland.
Your support is vital to helping autistic individuals and their families now more than ever. Enquiries to our Autism Advice Line have already doubled during the COVID-19 crisis with the need for someone who understands to listen.
People are often in crisis when they contact our dedicated team of experienced Community Advisors, who can provide a lifeline of emotional and practical advice and support.
While we are all keeping our nearest and dearest safe by staying apart during this festive season, you could send a loved one a message by making a donation to light up a window. Your support will also make a real difference providing a listening ear for autistic people and their families when they need it most.

Scottish Autism is Scotland’s national autism charity supporting autistic children, adults, their families, and health and social care professionals. Our mission is to enable autistic people to lead happy, healthy and fulfilling lives.
It is estimated that there are 56,000 autistic people in Scotland. Autism is a lifelong developmental condition that affects the way a person communicates, interacts and processes information.
We know that for many autistic people we have a system that fails to meets their rights and needs. Autistic children can experience unlawful exclusion from school, adults can face barriers to employment and there is still a long way to go to improve public understanding about the issues and struggles autistic individuals face in their daily lives. We are dedicated to enriching the lives of autistic people and enabling their voices to be heard.
