AutAngel is run by and for the autistic community. Our aim is to empower autistic people, to create opportunities, and help ourselves to reach our full potential.
We aspire to reflect the rich diversity of the autistic population. Although we know we aren’t there yet, we’re working hard on this. However, not all diversity is visible, and our team has representation from the following heritages/communities: Jewish, Gypsy Roma Traveller (GRT), Indian and LGBTQ+.

Carrie joined the AutAngel staff team in 2020, having participated in a number of our groups and courses over the previous 2 years. Finding autistic community has been a revelation for her. She has spent much of the past decade supporting people with disability benefits applications, and (just about) managing a busy household.

Will was diagnosed as autistic in 2017, aged 35. He first encountered AutAngel through the Exploring Being Autistic course, which provided numerous revelations and insights about the autistic experience. He finds dealing with numbers a relaxing diversion from the stresses of life, particularly those of the Reading FC supporter.
