Story

Spectrum Gaming: creating a world where autistic young people can reach their true potential

Spectrum Gaming aims to create a world where every autistic child knows that who they are is ok, that they can be themselves whilst developing meaningful relationships and achieving their personal goals.

We do this by providing spaces (both online and face-to-face) where autistic young people feel safe and accepted and have opportunities to explore who they are amongst others with shared lived experiences. Through our advocacy projects we have created a movement that aims to positively influence society and bring strategic change to meet the needs of autistic youth across the UK.

I feel much less alone. I feel part of a community, where I can make a difference and meet people who have similar experiences to me.

Now in our fifth year, we work with over 1000 autistic young people each year. But there's still so many more people we want to reach.

Your donations will help us to fund our work and work with more young autistic people, helping them to become more empowered, understanding and accepting of themselves!
