The National Autistic Society (NAS) is the UK's leading charity for people affected by autism. We were founded in 1962 by a group of parents who were passionate about ensuring a better future for their children. Today we have over 20,500 members, 115 branches and provide: information, advice, advocacy, training and support for individuals and their families, information and training for health, education and other professionals working with people with autism and their families; specialist residential, supported living, outreach and day services for adults; specialist schools and education outreach services for children; out-of-school services for children and young people; and employment training and support and social programmes for adults with autism. A local charity with a national presence, we campaign and lobby for lasting positive change for those affected by autism in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
