Who are we?

The Autism Info Center was founded by an autistic author and care worker, Peter J. Clark, who is absolutely passionate about building a greater understanding and acceptance of autism and neurodiversity - whether that's at home or in the community, workplaces, educational establishments, healthcare settings, government bodies and institutions, or in local and national authorities, worldwide.

Our core belief is that all autistic people - and indeed anyone who's neurodiverse or has any other disability - must feel understood, accepted, equal, included, respected, and well supported in a personalised and life-affirming way in every situation and setting.

What do we do?

Our entire mission is to provide honest, unbiased, and easy-to-understand information to help the whole of society build a supportive world in which everyone can live, grow, integrate, and thrive together. It's a big journey but we'll get there in small steps!

Whether you are neurodiverse yourself, or you have a family member who is, or you're a carer, an educator, a healthcare professional, or you're just keen to learn more, our aim is to be a trusted source of help, ideas, advice, strategies and information.
