Story

On Saturday, 2 May 2020 we will be taking part in YANA to let you know You Are Not Alone. Join us in raising vital awareness and support for Autism Research

The Coronavirus lockdown has led to feelings of uncertainty, a major cause of anxiety for many autistic people. Now more than ever, many of your colleagues and players need research that changes lives. Please support Autistica by donating or fundraising towards autism research that's needed now more than ever.

Take part in any way that makes sense to you and help support the vital work we do. Why not play games from our AutisticaPlayJam as part of your fundraising stream? These games were created by independent developers on themes based on vital autism research help us help more autistic people live longer, healthier, happier lives together.

If you plan to play one of our AutisticaPlayJam games as part of your stream then we suggest The Interview

Games hold a special place in the heart of many autistic people. This is what your support means as we help them through these most challenging times:

£5 recruits four new families to our network so they get urgent advice straight to their inbox

£10 helps us work with top researchers to develop crucial information during Coronavirus

£20 pays for a call with an autistic person to understand their needs so that we can respond

£50 helps us get expert mental health advice out to 40 families in crisis

£100 pays for one day of a new researcher's study, continuing their ground-breaking research.

Games helped me push through things even at the darkest times in my life. I could thank video games for almost all of my best friends. They really hold a special place in my heart."

Thank you,

Jake
