Is anyone here getting any help from NAS ?

Paull

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.

    Likewise, I could not care less whether the NAS Chief Executive's salary is £30,000 a year or £130,000 a year; if you want the best business brains, you have to pay good money in salaries to acquire them.  

    I am interested what is your definition of the 'best business brain' actually is?

    Also from my own experience (anxiety issues, meltdowns, anger management issues, etc), it seems to me that some people's autistic-related anxiety issues can manifest itself through anger and confrontation.  Therefore, I question whether some people criticising the NAS are letting their anxiety issues manifest as anger and are being somewhat unreasonable with the NAS.  

    I am sure that anxiety is an issue. However is it not hat you are trying to pass off peoples opinions as just 'sympoms of their condition'. This is something that  autistics face every day.
