NAS - A charity or a business ?

Paull

NAS should be disbanded and replaced with a more accountable and transparent organisation that serves to help those with Autism, not those that run the organisation. Please sign my petition.

  • Autism is simply better understood and documented than it was before. There is NO evidence that autism is a 'side-effect of the modern age', although it is possible that the predisposition genes for autism were valuable from an evolutionary perspective.

    And there is no 'epidemic': autism is NOT a disease. An 'epidemic' is the wrong word to use in this context, because before greater awareness, people with autism still existed (including aspergers). As far as we are aware, they always have done!
