What is the function of the NAS?

The moderators usually post advice on posts which are a cause for concern i.e. a call for help. They seem to all be holiday or something this week .... 

No they don't. The moderators usually post when there is a 'revenue stream' (parent) posting asking for help.

If you are #actuallyautistic and an adult you are denied support, representation, RESPECT and ultimately as a cohort our opinions and experiences are reduced to whatever suits their needs.

WE have no voice. NAS are controlled opposition.

Adults don't bring in money for the NAS unless they require residential care services.

And one of the most common ways that adults with ASD get 'spotted' is when they have a child who gets diagnosed... so you'd think there'd be some kind of 'joined up' support if for no other reason than it must be bloody hard to be a parent when you're autistic...

yeah...true... but children themselves don't bring in money for the NAS, it's their parents that do... the children just get everything for free without having to make any effort...
