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.

    You are right, you can't talk to an organisation be it ATOS, UK Government, WCA, or the NAS which does not listen , or pretends to listen, or listens but only takes the cherry picking good points as a data collection strategy to justify a policy, cut or funding. Until there is enough anger on the streets nothing happens and even then.  This country needs a total overhaul.

    Exactly the current system is not sustainable and the elite in control are penalising the majority to maintain their positions. Politicians not so long ago went for a pay rise while throwing people out of jobs.

    With regards to NAS a simple question for them to answer-

    Can the National Autistic Society explain why they collect funds for Aspergers and Autism and why the majority of diagnosed adults are not assisted when in dire straits-like myself about to become homeless through no fault of my own.

    (other than the simple reason there is no profit in us)
