The Autism Centre of Excellence at Cambridge
The Autism Centre of Excellence at Cambridge is a science-led campaigning charity working closely with Cambridge University’s Autism Research Centre. Our aim is to improve access to high quality support and remove barriers and stigma for autistic people.
We commission breakthrough science, campaigns and partnerships to scale interventions, tools and adaptations to:
- Improve inclusion, acceptance, respect, and human rights of autistic people.
- Improve support for autistic people in education, employment, health, wellbeing, and criminal justice.
- Reduce avoidable deaths of autistic people caused by suicide, epilepsy and other health conditions.
- Reduce avoidable hardship in life caused by inequality, exclusion, isolation or discrimination of autistic people.
“Translating excellent autism research into excellent support services via partners could be a game-changer for autistic people and their families.”
“The Autism Centre of Excellence will have an impact globally, in a way we have never seen before. I am delighted to be involved, helping improve autistic people’s wellbeing.”

What we stand for
We believe that all people, regardless of autism, intellectual or language ability, have equal value and should have equal human rights.
