We are a group that came together on the autism related forum to form this voluntary not for profit organisation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chair. I entered the autism space by advocating and dealing with my children’s diagnosis and SEN provisions at school. However soon I realised that autism, or then Asperger, was the name for what was happening to me all my life. I am an MBA qualified chemical engineer by training and worked in blue chip companies in new product development and marketing. I have 12 years’ experience of advocacy and 8 years’ experience of advising people on a popular forum for parents. Watching my girls, I know building positive autism identity is hugely important. I came across some demeaning and dehumanising conversations about autistic people and realised that equality is not a forgone conclusion. We need to work for it for us and for the sake of our children. So I joined with others to start this voluntary organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Treasurer. I am an\nelectrical engineer. I moderate a professional forum and manage my own\nelectronics business. I hope to see a change in attitude towards\n“autistic” people and have a decent online platform to use. I believe\nwe should be pushing the idea that there is a diversity in society. There is a\nsliding scale from NT to Autistic. The cut-off point between NT and Autistic is\nimpossible to define, we are proof of that in trying to help those that miss\nout on a diagnosis. We should be pushing for an understanding that we are not\nall the same and there should be more tolerance in society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
