Charity: Thinking Autism
Thinking Autism (formerly Treating Autism, a charity run entirely by parents, provides information and support to families and individuals affected by autism with the aim of improving their quality of life and reducing disabling symptoms of autism. We run Events across the United Kingdom that provides often-isolated parents a chance to meet and exchange information and experiences with other parents in a similar situation, as well as offering cutting edge information on treatment. We also create and publish information booklets and documents that are provided, free of charge, to the wider community, including other organisations, members of government bodies, and medical and research professionals. In addition, we run advocacy campaigns and liaise with policy makers and service providers to improve standards of health care for people with autism.
