I am an Autism Bee, I don't sting unless someone is destroying the flowers.
I would like a honest opinion of the NAS,, do they function correctly as a Autistic Organisation ?
I don't think so, they have no sting in the tail. When people with autism have major issues in there life, due to the system,, ie, education, courts, councils, health and all the other external proxies putting pressure on autistic children and adults,, the NAS is ineffectual and does not meet the needs of the autistic community.
Give you an example in my life.., the local authority in my area has no specialist adult autism assistance, no autism co-ordinator, non autism local strategy plan, my primary care is not under the autistic nice guidelines, the support workers are non-autistically trained, my GP knows nothing about Autism...
The NAS is a real letdown for the adult autistic community.
Any thoughts,, or is this just my own experience ?
PS ALEX ~ sorry I talk about these things, maybe goes against the brand & PR NAS.
1 million Brazilians seem to know the answer. Britain has forgotten it had the British Standard. I am lost the system is corrupt. By corruption, I don't mean corrupt in the financial or illegally corrupt. By corruption, I mean the balance is tilted by influence and power which rigs a system to benefit a political will and agenda not suited to the greater good.
Longman as usual, you are right on what you are saying, but when did my country become a them and us environment ? or has it always been, I've just realised late on.
People with autism, aka ME ! don't actually wish to fight anyone, they just wish to fix things, to make peoples lifes better all round. We don't have the emotional energy to be stirring up trouble, but there is a part of our condition which seems to hold onto points of principle, integrity which can not be bought and can see system framework which are unethical and unfair.
We play by the rules, but the rules are shapeshifting to suit a core few. Britannia rules the waves, but the great ship is sinking ! Everything, I have been told is true by society, is turning out to be a lie. All these organisations, governments, councils, institutes, charities are corrupt by manipulating there own system and rules to suit there boards and agenda's and when I am involved in any of these systems, I see it so clearly because I am confused and looking to understand them. I just comes down to a dodgy edge, a circle of in the know people, a blacklist and favour list and so sort of rigged control with gives a corrupt advantage.
Basically the world is a s*** and autism is blessing, you get not to join them by the Grace of Autism.
Longman thank you again for all your comments, I enjoy your in sights.
