Who are Spectrum Gaming?
OUR MISSION:
To create a world where autistic young people can reach their true potential!
OUR VISION:
Spectrum Gaming is an autistic-led UK based charity that supports autistic young people. We aim to create a world where every autistic young person knows that who they are is ok and they can be themselves, whilst still developing meaningful relationships and achieving their personal goals.
We do this by providing spaces where they feel safe and accepted, amongst others with similar shared lived experiences, and opportunities to explore who they are.
We want all autistic young people to have the strength and confidence to find their place in the world that works for them. In many cases this means influencing wider strategic changes to create an environment that is more understanding and equitable.
Our Current Services
We provide a safe space online community supervised by trusted adults where young people can explore, connect and grow with other
We believe that young people’s voices are the most important in deciding how services should be delivered and how they should be supported. Therefore, what we do, how we run and our transformation is driven by members of our community. We have autistic young people that are also part of our voluntary staff team, and they fulfil a variety of roles including Server Managers, Moderators, Minecraft Builders, Event Leads and more.
They will all be here to help and support you throughout your time in our community!
