The Icelandic Autistic Society was founded in 1977. In our organization are people on the autism spectrum,

parents, professionals and others who are interested in better services for autism. There are now 1030 members. We have leisure groups for teenagers and support groups for adults in both the Greater Reykjavík area and in Akureyri. There are also active support groups for parents. The association has placed great emphasis on advocacy, and educating the society about autism. The main issues are shorter waiting lists for diagnosis, increased employment opportunities and more housing solutions. The Icelandic Autistic Society has an office in Reykjavík.
