Ireland's Autism Charity

Policy & Advocacy

Since AsIAm was founded in 2014, we have been campaigning to transform Irish society so that Autistic people and families have the same chance. Speaking to our values of perseverance, service and same chance, our Policy Team advocates on behalf of the Autistic community and to support in bringing about real change for the Autistic community as envisioned under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).

The Policy Team campaigns to change society’s attitudes towards autism and Autistic people, and for changes to laws and policies so that Autistic people and families are treated as full and equal citizens in Irish society, and have better access to supports that meet their needs. Our policy and advocacy work is guided by the lived experiences and perspectives of Autistic people and families, making sure that our community’s voices are at the core of shaping laws, policies and supports which affect their lives.
