About Us
Who are we?
Welcome to Autism Wise, a dedicated hub created for families and individuals navigating life with autism. We are based in London, UK, but our reach, much like the support and understanding we aim to spread, knows no bounds.
Our Genesis
Autism Wise was founded by Alex Player, a devoted father of an autistic child, a tech maven, and a seasoned philanthropist. Alex’s diverse roles include being the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at The Forest of Memories charity and co-founder of PromptMuse.com, a free AI tech resource site.
The inception of Autism Wise was drawn from a personal journey. Alex, a father to an 8-year-old child with autism, experienced firsthand the unique challenges and extraordinary rewards of raising an autistic child. His understanding of the complex emotions that parents go through, combined with his acute awareness of the services available and those sorely needed, laid the foundation for Autism Wise.
Our Mission
At Autism Wise, we are committed to serving as an all-encompassing source of support and knowledge for the autism community. Our mission transcends beyond the ambit of just offering advice and guidance; we strive to cultivate an environment of understanding, acceptance, and advocacy. We work with the goal of equipping every child and adult with autism to explore and fulfil their potential.
Our Community
Community lies at the heart of our philosophy at Autism Wise. We’re proud to facilitate an online community that enables parents, carers, and autistic individuals to connect and engage with one another. We believe that shared experiences can foster camaraderie, inspire hope, and spur positive action. We organise regular events – virtual and physical – which focus on raising awareness, disseminating valuable information, and building robust networks of support.
Our Dedication
The soul of Autism Wise lies in our unwavering dedication to the cause. Our team consists of professionals and empathetic individuals who invest their skills, time, and passion into understanding autism better, creating invaluable resources, and making a tangible difference in the lives of those dealing with autism. We are more than an organisation; we are a collective of people dedicated to championing the rights of autistic people across the UK.
Our Vision
As we look to the future, our vision is clear. We seek to foster an environment where autistic individuals are understood, supported, and empowered to live their lives to the fullest. We believe in the power of information, the strength of community, and the impact of advocacy.
In the quest of fulfilling our vision, we invite you to join us. Whether you are a parent looking for advice, a professional willing to lend your skills, or someone keen on contributing to our cause, there is a place for you at Autism Wise.
Join us on this rewarding journey – where understanding autism is just the beginning, and making a difference is the shared goal. Welcome to Autism Wise, your trusted ally in the world of autism. Together, let’s foster understanding, create opportunities, and build a world that celebrates the unique strengths and abilities that autism brings.
