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

  • I have only been a forum member for 24 hours and already I have had discussions with people who really arent moaners or worriers.

    I have had experience of a son with high functioning autism for 30 years. One thing I do know is that its difficult for anyone to give hints or tips about individuals; all people are different, even those with autism. You may have got off on the wrong foot but maybe it is because you are frustrated trying to find answers or solutions. I think that the most important thing that anyone can offer you is support and empathy for your situation.

    Having a child with autism is probably the most difficult job in the world, only because of peoples ignorance and judgemental attitudes.

    I know that if you ask a question on this forum, you will get answers and hints and tips; they may not work but its worth a try.

    I have 30 years experience, ask me anything, theres nothing much I havent encountered but there is probably more to come.

    Take care
