Scottish Autism (Formerly The Scottish Society For Autism)

Scottish Autism is an organisation dedicated to enabling autistic people to lead happy, healthy and fulfilling lives.

Established in 1968 by a group of parents, we are now the largest provider of autism-specific services in Scotland and a leading authority and advocate for good autism practice.

We exist to help those diagnosed with autism to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives and be recognised as valued members of the community they live in.

We also seek to share our knowledge and expertise with parents, carers and other professionals in order to support the development of skills and strategies needed to provide the best care and support for autistic people.
