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 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.

    And that's great. But it only helps the people that you as an individual can help.

    What about everyone else?

    What about people that don't have people like you in their locality?
