Autism Ireland
Autism Ireland was formed in 2001 to bring positive change into the lives of those affected by autism. The range of services which Autism Ireland provides include raising awareness, information on education & intervention support, advocacy, counselling, home based support, research information and advice for families. As a charity that currently does not receive any government funding, our annual income is raised through a variety of different fundraising events and projects, our annual income is raised through a variety of different fundraising events and projects. The charity is therefore very dependent upon the generosity of the general public and without this support, we would not be able to continue to provide this vital support to families throughout Ireland. 1 in 100 people are affected by autism. This staggering statistic provides some idea of the scale of the issue in Ireland today. Autism Ireland is striving forward in addressing this by lobbying a national campaign for the government to commit to a national strategy on autism. In 2016, Autism Ireland managed to secure the support of the government to back the first ever Irish Autism Awareness Day, 8 years on from the first ever World Autism Awareness Day on April 2nd 2008 declared and supported by the United Nations. Autism Ireland are looking to create a more autism aware and friendly society to provide better support and respect for the 276,000 people in Ireland living with autism. Autism Ireland are delighted to launch our new website in early June which will have more information and a much easier way of finding same.
