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.

    I approached the NAS in my area,, same response. They said they did not deal with the Aspergers side of Autism, I would need to approach my local council for sign posting elsewhere.

    Are you being serious that the NAS has openly stated that they do not deal with AS? My own experience is that the NAS has jumped onto the Asperger bandwagon and promises much but delivers very little for people with Asperger syndrome.

    Then maybe we need to organize and coordinate our efforts instead of acting as powerless individuals!

    I have been doing this for years in organisations outside of the NAS where I achieve plenty of tangible and productive work leading to positive results. If I chose to work through the NAS then I would have wasted most of my time and effort fruitlessly battling with the senior officials and ordinary members who are clearly not interested in providing any useful or relevant services for people with high functioning Asperger syndrome because it doesn't fit in with their agenda.
