Live Chat on Transition - 21 March

Mike NAS

Hi everyone,

I wanted to let you know that The National Autistic Society is holding its first Live Chat sessions. Live sessions will allow you to ask questions to our staff on a range of different topics throughout the year.

For the very first of our Live Chat sessions, which takes place tomorrow, we will be answering your questions on transition – or coping with the change that comes when we move from one stage to another.

If you, or someone you know, is anticipating making the change from school to college, or college to their first job, starting university or moving out of home for the first time, you can field your questions to our Transition Coordinators and they will help you make the steps towards adulthood.

The session is on 21 March at either 12 noon or 7pm. Please post any questions here and our experts will try to answer as many as possible duringg the sessions. A full transcript will be available afterwards to review the chat.

Here's the link for more info: http://www.autism.org.uk/News-and-events/News-from-the-NAS/Live-chat-on-transition.aspx

We hope you'll be able to join us.

Best wishes,
Mike, NAS

  • Paull,

    My experience of these Acts in law are an outline brief, it is the governing body which sets up a real system, THERE SYSTEM not a parlimentary act system as such. So the sector accepts what the governing they wish. Here is the problem with that system, take the NAS with its 90million twice the amount of the office of fair trading department, it has the key role and it knows it, hence the government has given them all that money to be so, so that it does not go back to the law courts and standards are decreed by law via damages. How if there is power struggle between two competing autism organisation say the NAS and XYZ, you get a merger and standardised standards or lots of courtcases.

    So what you are really asking is ,, WHAT ARE THE STANDARDS AND SYSTEM FOR AUTISM in the UK. The NAS role should be to rollout a standard without gaps,, however what you will find is that the NAS has the london standard whilst the rest of the UK starves so to say. If another body pushes the NAS, they will try and circle them in. POLITICS, POLITICS, my kingdom of POLITICS.

    So, who is benefiting from the NAS and there government hush funding.

    The reason there is no information nor link on this site, is because when you challenge the government on the Autism Act,, you challenge the NAS at the same time. The NAS is just a bridging agent between autistic people and the government, as a barrier and access system control.
