The All Party Parliamentary Group on Autism (APPGA) is a group of backbench members of the British Parliament and Peers interested in autism spectrum disorders. The Chair and Officers are elected by the Members of the Group at an annual AGM. The current Chair is the Rt Hon Cheryl Gillan MP, who was the MP responsible for taking the Autism Act 2009 through the Houses of Parliament.

The APPGA was founded in 2000. Its secretariat is provided by the National Autistic Society.[1]

An Advisory group exists for the APPGA, composed of experts and autistic individuals who are experts in their respective fields. It is chaired by Phillip Hanscombe (RNLD, Expert by Experience).[citation needed]
