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

  • ok thanks, sorry for my abruptness but its just a reflection of my desperation for help.

    What I don't understand is when you say the process of enforcing these duties is not straightforward - I can't see a grey area - to me a law is either a law or not and I think as the law was passed in 2009 then there has been plently of time to put it into action. If the law says local authorities must do those things and they are not doing them then surely it means they are breaking the law ? If not then what is the point of making it law to begin with ?
