Ambitious about Autism is a UK national charity which aims to improve opportunities for young people on the autism spectrum. Originally established in 1997 as the TreeHouse Trust, the charity was founded by a group of parents – including author Nick Hornby – whose first child had been diagnosed with autism.[2]

Their mission has been described as being to "help children and young people with autism to learn, thrive and achieve – making the ordinary possible."[3]

It is known for operating TreeHouse School in Muswell Hill, north London, Ambitious College which has campuses in Tottenham and Isleworth, London and The Rise School, based in Feltham, west London.

TreeHouse School was rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted in its 2017 inspection.[4]
