Autism Unravelled

A registered UK charity providing carers, individuals and professionals with easy to understand and up to date information on known, current experimental and theoretical research into the biomedical causes and treatments of autistic spectrum disorders. Autism Unravelled aims to simplify the biochemistry and physiology that lies behind these complex disorders.

What we do

As well as providing up to date, easily understood information on the biology and physiology of autistic spectrum disorders, we provide support for carers and individuals in what can be an isolating and bewildering condition. Everyone working with Autism Unravelled is either a parent or carer of someone with autism and we know from our own experiences how vital it is to be able to share problems and concerns. If we are unable to help you, we will will try to find someone who can.

We have a Biomedical Research Study Group, comprised of eminent professionals in the field of autism and related disorders, who are dedicated to helping us unravel autism.

There is a large gap between the scientific and medical writings on autism and the everyday experience of caring for or being someone who has the condition. Bridging this gap through the gain of information and sharing of experiences will lead to better understanding of autism. If we understand what the science means for our children and adults with autism, we can see that this knowledge can be for them, not about them.

Knowledge is a powerful tool, and we wish to encourage and empower others to find out more about the real causes of this condition so that we may, sooner rather than later, really unravel autism.
