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

  • Is it a law or just a guide of law ? ,, hence my distaste for governments, councils and institutional authorities, because that is what a STANDARD is ! A standard is best practice.

    The system just now is were your autism pound is worth less or more than my autism pound depending on a post code lottery location and service.

    Mikes point of reference to relate back to the Department of Health is a very good idea, but like courtcases for justice only 10% end up in court, with the remaining 90% cases can not access the system due to legal confusioon, economical and social barriers.

    So one for case highlighted , there is another 9 unhighlighted.

    This sounds like something out the mafia or sadams state handbook, but the DH should make an example of a few of these lagging authorities. Good can work the same way, it is the only way that priority is given, no risk, no bothered councils.
