Is anyone here getting any help from NAS ?

Does anyone here get actually get any help from NAS ?

My experience is you ask for help and they send you a bucketload of PDF'S of other organisations. Am I wrong to have expected more ?

The chief executive gets paid 140 grand a year, is it right that someone can live in luxury on that kind of salary from charitable donations ? Not even counting the other 20 people on stupid salaries comes to over 2 million quid ...no doubt plus expenses.

I thought charities existed to help others but obviously they are more interested in helping themselves.

  • I also sent the NAS the application form from their autism brochure for their free friendship pack (around December 2012), it never arrived and I emailed them about it on 12th January, received a copy of my enquiry but they have never replied to it, and my pack still hasn't arrived.

    If they can't help people unless they have an actual diagnosis, but their child has all the traits and symptoms of autism, then they are not a very supportive charity.
