Our club was born from the vision of our founder, Charlie. After struggling to find a place where he truly felt understood in a mainstream football setting, Charlie envisioned a different kind of team—one where neurodiverse children could thrive.
In 2019, that vision was brought to life in the back garden, where Charlie shared his idea: to create a football team that was welcoming, inclusive, and, most importantly, a safe space where autistic children could be themselves.
From that moment, we set to work to turn Charlie’s dream into reality—a team built on understanding, support, and the belief that every child deserves the chance to enjoy and succeed in the game they love.
Inclusion, opportunity, understanding—these are not just words at our club; they are the values we live and breathe every day.
We believe that every child should not only have a seat at the table but also a voice that’s heard. We want them to showcase their passion for the game, to feel proud of who they are, and to be empowered to pursue their dreams.
Our vision is simple: to provide every player with the opportunities they need to grow and thrive in the world of football.
At Autistic FC our mission is to make inclusive football more accessible for everyone. We strive to set the gold standard for inclusivity, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to succeed.
We empower our players to be proud of their skills, embrace their individuality, and progress within the club—whether as senior players or future coaches.
Our goal is for our team to thrive and for everyone involved to celebrate the unique spirit that makes our club truly special.
