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

Stuffed

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?

Thinking

  • 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?

  • ARRAN, The NAS are just keeping the toe in the door for further funding or a funding insurance policy as aspergers is growth industry, I think the system is just gathering numbers just now, as you say the NAS does not offer support for aspergers in my area, however promote that they do so to the scottish government, I have wrote to the district council and and scottish parliament highlighting that I was refused assistance. Or in the words of the LOCAL NAS representative, "we have one guy here with aspergers who does not fit in with full spectrum services we offer, so you will have to go somewhere else to get support, here is a magazine on aspergers living goodbye". I don't mind if this is the case, but do not promote assistance in the local community and ESPECIALLY NOT THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENTS STRATEGY PLAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
