The 'In our Words: Sixty years of the National Autistic Society and the story of autism in the UK’ project has been made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we will be recording the history of the National Autistic Society in an online archive.  

We will focus on pivotal moments throughout the charity’s history to reflect the changing attitudes and public perspectives of autism over the last 60 years.  

This project will curate, celebrate and preserve the stories, voices and memories of autistic people, families, professionals and National Autistic Society’s employees, past and present. 

The project is managed by The National Autistic Society, the UKs leading charity for autistic people and their families. If you have any questions or concerns, please email our archive team.
