In 2016 the Pixel Fund supported the development of a paper-based toolkit to help autistic people self-manage their anxiety. In partnership with King’s College London and with the further support of the Pixel Fund, Autistica will translate this toolkit into a mobile app, allowing us to offer personalised support for autistic people suffering from anxiety nationwide.

Many get chronically depressed, can have problems with their eye-sight and have trouble sleeping. Researchers have found that when people are first diagnosed with MS they often show “post-traumatic symptoms”.

This will enable us to continue to deliver an unique service to people aged 16 years + who are seeking immediate support for poor mental health when they are in crisis without the need for long waiting lists.
