Autistica is a UK-based non-profit focused on autism research and advocacy. It collaborates with autistic people to identify challenges and to shape the agenda for change, and it funds research to determine which approaches are effective. The organization then uses the resulting evidence to advise and influence partners to implement proven solutions that improve autistic people's lives. Its 2030 Goals describe intended outcomes such as proven supports from day one, increased employment for autistic people, effective anxiety treatments, more accessible public spaces, yearly tailored health checks for autistic adults, and a shift in public attitudes. Based in London, England, the charity operates as a small-to-mid-sized nonprofit in the UK, and a recent development includes the appointment of a new chief executive for its Autistica Insight Group to take effect in June 2026.
