Alternative forums to discuss topics the NAS won't cover or support

Now while it is made quite clear that any critism of funding gaps isn't apreciated.

I wonder has anyone found a forum that supports adults in the community and if there isn't could we look at yahoo groups or similar to provide the information for those of us who do not seem to fit the required criteria?

  • Housing issues
  • Benefits support
  • Work Capacity Assessment and PIPS
  • Debt

Not just fobbing people off to Citizens advice but help and some sort of follow up/aftercare.

what do you think?

  • I cannot fathom out exactly why the NAS jumped onto the Asperger bandwagon when they offer miniscule support because it is unprofitable compared to what they can make from providing services for traditional low functioning autism. Surely if the NAS management had the best business brains then they would cease dealing with Asperger syndrome in the same way that any real business discontinues services that are unprofitable.
