The object of Spectrum Gaming is the promotion of social inclusion among autistic young people (diagnosed or suspected) who are socially excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of being autistic by: • Running an online community for autistic young people, which focuses on: Enabling young people to create new friendships, Improving their mental health and well-being and by Giving young people the confidence and skills to meet their goals and aspirations. • Educating young people, their parents and professionals about autism, internet safety and other topics which are important to our community. • Promoting the views of young people and both advocating for them, and providing them with the knowledge/skills to be able to advocate for themselves. • Supporting other organisations to create and develop groups/ activities for autistic young people, both physically and online. • running other projects, campaigns and activities based on the priorities and needs of the young people in our community including running face to face social groups and activities around their interests.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Spectrum Gaming is a charity I set up to make sure as many young people as possible avoid the struggles my generation, and previous generations of autistic people have experienced.

There are a few pieces of work that we do not have any dedicated funding for. We do them out of passion, because no one deserves to struggle just because they are struggling.

An example is our Barriers to Education project, a project that aims to identify reasons why things can be tricky for young people, and what can be done to help. Fundraising is essential for us to be able to continue the work and create free resources for people across the country to benefit from.
