Just as my final thoughts on this, I do understand that all stakeholders, whether they be working or volunteering for the NAS, whether it is members of the neurodiverse community officially diagnosed or "self-realised" if you are a family member or friend doing some research on behalf of a loved one, contribute and a lot of good people give up time and resources. For this, I feel fortunate. The longer-term objective has to be the following, though, does it not?
The National Autistic Society is here to transform lives, change attitudes and create a society that works for autistic people.
I believe that the neurodiverse community will never achieve this objective without contributing and speaking up. After all, only so much moaning can be done when we reach an unsuitable utopia if we do not contribute to the design.
