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.

  • Interesting article, but I looked at the website and it seemed unconvincing, a lot of information but most of it speculation and no clear conclusions.

    The idea that heavy metals and in particular mercury may be contributing to autism seems plausible but I think if there was a strong link it would be clear by now.

    Also if this was true I think we would be seeing a decrease in Autism in this country,

    as I understand it levels of lead and mercury exposure in children have been falling for the last 20 years.
