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.

So they will not insist GP's come out to autistic children, who are too disturbed to attend surgery, or indeed attend to their medical needs or monitor them more closely because they cannot tell you they are in pain"

    This is a very good point, the 7 minute patient turn around at GP surgery with a purely NT doctors mindframe. PILL AND GO ! Does not work or give any long-term comfort to a person with Autism. Visiting the GP, making an appointment, waiting in the surgery, seeing a stranger doctor, explaining your situation, even taking a pill as prescripted are all big issues for an autistic person. The GP's and other professionals do not get this !!!

    Frustration because this is the type of simple work, the NAS should be guiding to on to assist Autistic people in there daily lives.
