Empower Autism is an Autistic-led organisation, which envisions a world where Autistic people may participate, contribute and succeed to their fullest potential with confidence and self-belief. We actively strive to include Autistic voices within every area of our organisation, from our board to our programs development and delivery.

We view Autistic identity through the social model of disability, and believe that Autistic people's experiences and culture go far beyond just a medical diagnosis. We respect the right to self-identification and work to create authentically inclusive spaces where Autistic people feel safe to express themselves, their needs and their interests.
