Fundraise for Us
Did you know...
34.2% of autistic people have experienced suicidal ideation, 21.9% of autistic people have planned to end their own life, and 24.3% of autistic people have attempted suicide.
The stats are similar in those with ADHD, too.
Adults with ADHD are 5 times more likely to end their own life than the general population. Accidental death is also more common in those with ADHD due to traits such as impulsivity and engaging in risky behaviours, and the higher occurrence of addiction and substance misuse.
Your Help Matters
For many people who are late-diagnosed, their autism and ADHD flew under the radar for decades. For years they struggled without anyone knowing. They became masters at masking, at hiding who they truly are. But masquerading as a neurotypical comes at a price - exhaustion, isolation, and even suicide.
As the world’s first charity supporting adults with combined autism and ADHD (AuDHD), we are on a mission to end autism and ADHD-related suicides, and dedicated to helping those late-diagnosed with autism and ADHD discover and embrace their true selves. The numbers are alarming, but we’re making that change.
Every donation helps us reach more late-diagnosed AuDHD adults with understanding, support and hope — and brings us closer to a world where no one has to face this alone. When you fundraise for us, every pound you raise can make a real difference to late-diagnosed AuDHD adults.
£100
£100 raised could help more AuDHD adults find understanding, connection and support — and take steps towards embracing who they are.
£500 raised could help us campaign for fairer, faster diagnostic services and provide support that helps more late-diagnosed AuDHD adults understand and embrace who they are.
£500
£1,000 raised could help us reach even more AuDHD adults, and the people around them, with the understanding and support to make a lasting difference.
