What is it with the forum and the NAS bashing ~ URSPECIAL

autismtwo

What is it with the forum and the NAS bashing ? states URSPECIAL.

Simple answer, people with autism come onto this forum with serious life problems, benefits, housing, medical assessments, lack of care and FALL STRAIGHT THROUGH THE NET, which the NAS is pretending it catches vulnerable autistic people in !

It is the hypocrisy of the NAS and what it stand for and what it really does in reality, it is like a PR machine without a soul.  

If the NAS can not supply a Specialist Crisis Net for people Autistic people, who can, as the mainstream is failing ?

The NAS would be better not to exist then and least that way there is no FALSE HOPE generated by pretending it does a good job. All the NAS is a government agency no better than ATOS.

  • Couldn't have put it better myself autismtwo, we go to NAS for help full of hope that we can get help but all we get is fobbed off... I was told to go to them by the NHS, I asked NAS for help and all I got was a load of pdf files sent by email pointing me to other places.

    This shows they have absolutely no concern about me at all, and nobody even followed up.

    I thought my diagnosis (after decades of wrong diagnosis of depression and even mental illness), might open up some doors so I can get help, but nothing and for those moaning about people complaining then you obviously don't need help because if you did and you went to NAS for help you wouldn't get any. What is making people shout is the fact that NAS is getting 92 million per year on the back of helping those with autism - but when you have autism and go to NAS for help you don't get any, but at the same time they are free to squander a huge proportion of that money of nice offices, salaries to well over 20 executives, meetings, award ceremonies, speeches and lectures - I have ASD, none of this helps me at all, so in my opinion its a waste of money.

    Like I said in my last thread 92 million is enough to build 50 huge centres across the UK and staff them all with 10 full time staff, pay for decoration, repairs, furniture and equipment and give them £4000 a week running costs. 95% of those with ASD will be about an hour away from a centre, where they can go for help, advise, courses, day centre etc...
