Live Chat with CEO Mark Lever - 2 April

Mike NAS

Hello all,

We are holding a live Q&A discussion with NAS Chief Executive Mark Lever on World Autism Awareness Day (2 April 2013). The event will take place at 5pm for one hour and to register your interest in the event, please follow this link.

The discussion will focus on how we're working to break down the myths about autism, what can be done to increase awareness and what we have planned for the year ahead. 

We are expecting a large number of questions to be submitted so please send in your questions beforehand too so we can do our best to answer as many as possible. Please post your question below; via Twitter using the hashtag #AskMarkNAS; or by posting on our Facebook wall. Alternatively, you can submit your question in real-time during the live chat discussion.

Hope you'll be able to join us.

Best wishes,
Mike, NAS

    yes, its only half the issue - the NAS ice wall might be broken but the local authority has a 10 inch steel wall - when I contact them their excuse for breaking the law is that this is all in progress ! It's of no help to me that something may or may not be pencilled in for 2016 or whatever date. Someone else is supposed to be contacting me back, but I don't hold out much hope, will propable have to seek legal advice next.

    the named autism person coordinater in the local authority should be the first point of contact,, if they can not provide or supply that information, then you have legal case.

    I have asked my local authority for the same information, which they have to respond to under the request of information act within 20 days.

    It is good the NAS are on side with you on this, maybe you will be asset long-term to them. Maybe if it does go down the legal route they can support you. Hopefully not just lip service.
