Ambitious about Autism

Ambitious about Autism We stand with autistic children and young people to campaign for change and create opportunities. Ambitious about Autism was founded as TreeHouse in 1997.

It was founded as a specialist school for children with autism, with five pupils and based in a borrowed room in the Royal Free Hospital in North London. For the last 13 years, Ambitious about Autism has been growing and developing into the national charity that it is today, which provides services, raises awareness and influences policy. We moved to Muswell Hill, north London, in 2004, and moved

into our purpose designed building - the Pears National Centre for Autism Education - in October 2008.

Autism has been a hot topic this year, and we've heard many opinions in the media.

Unfortunately, there has been less time to cover:

- why thousands of autistic pupils are missing from school

- length of waiting times for vital assessment and support

- lack of employment opportunities for autistic young people

Autistic young people don't need more headlines.

They need action. Join our campaigning today: https://bit.ly/4cDnvde

Good luck to all autistic young people receiving their A-level, BTEC and T-level results today.

Results day can bring a mixture of excitement, uncertainty and relief.

For many autistic young people, getting to this point has meant navigating an education system that doesn't always understand or support you. This needs to change.

If you're receiving your results today, we hope you feel proud of everything you've achieved to get here, whatever your results.

We are delighted to announce that Andy Williams and Gaz Hitchin, founders and hosts of Autism Dadcast, have become our new ambassadors.

The two Shropshire-based dads host the popular podcast through which they share their experiences of raising their autistic children. The pair first met after signing up to run the Paris Half Marathon on behalf of Ambitious about Autism

Through the podcast, they aim to ensure no parent, particularly no dad, feels alone on their journey of bringing up an autistic child, while raising awareness and encouraging greater understanding and acceptance of autism.

We look forward to continuing our work with you Andy and Gaz!
