Update on charity board membership

  •  

As of August 11th 2026 Professor Jason Arday has resigned from his role as trustee of Autism Action. He has done so to ensure the recent media reporting does not impact the charity’s work and to avoid becoming a distraction from the challenges that autistic people and their families face, which the charity exists to address. Autism Action thanks Jason for his support of the charity.

  • Like so many, we are shocked and saddened by the news of Jason’s death on Friday. We prefer not to add to ongoing public debate and will not be commenting further at this time. However, our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with everybody who knew and loved him.
