About Spectrum Gaming
Spectrum Gaming is an amazing (and rapidly growing) children's charity operating online for autistic young people across the UK. We have a vibrant online community of young people and also offer meet-ups in the Greater Manchester area where young people from across the country can come together in person.

We aim to create a world where every autistic child knows that who they are is ok and they can be themselves, whilst still developing meaningful relationships and achieving their personal goals.

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.

Child-centred We work with our young people in equal partnership, to achieve what’s important for them.

Reflective We always try our best, encouraging challenge and change in order to learn and improve.
