ABOUT AUTISM SPEAKS
Autism Speaks is the only registered charity in the UK raising funds for biomedical research into the causes of autism spectrum disorders.Â
The charity was launched in the UK by autism campaigner and philanthropist, Dame Stephanie Shirley in 2004.
The exact cause or causes of autism are at present unknown but there is increasing evidence that accelerating autism research could transform our understanding of autism and lead to more effective interventions and treatments.
Autism is one of the most significant but least researched developmental disorders and Autism Speaks has set itself the task of achieving major research breakthroughs within ten years. It believes that the most effective interventions will come from a clear understanding of the causes and biological mechanisms of autism.
