help for young people
So many autistic people and their families face struggles throughout their lives because of a lack of understanding and support.
The Autistica Tips Hub is helping to fill that gap by providing evidence-based resources and tips on topics that matter the most to autistic people.
Whether you’re looking for tips on mental health, managing problems with your school or professional guidance, the Autistica Tips Hub has you covered. It’s a place to share what has helped you, learn from others and connect with the autistic community.
Our goal is to provide high-quality information that meets the real needs of autistic people and their families. We continuously update the Autistica Tips Hub based on user feedback to ensure it remains relevant and helpful.
You can join Autistica in making the Tips Hub a trusted source of information and a supportive community for autistic people, their families, and professionals working with autistic people.
The APP is currently only designed for iPhone.

Leo’s Story
The decline of Leo’s mental health began in primary school, and he was talking about ending his life by Year 6 in primary school.
By the end of year 10 as GCSE’s approached the impact of school and previous lockdowns really became evident. Year 11 he stopped going to school altogether and did not leave his bedroom.
Our Mission
In memory of our beautiful boy, we have made it our mission to bring about change so that other families do not have to go through the daily heartache of losing a child to suicide.
We are passionate about raising awareness in society, through film making, the media, sharing our story and raising money to help young neurodivergent people live a long and happy life.
