Has Any Adult on the Spectrum Recieved Any Help from NAS

When I joined NAS they sent me a big envelope full of literature, but amongst this was the most bizarre article, purporting to explain Asperger's, where the author went on about someone supposedly with aspergers but living in a care home and drinking water out of the wc. The author seemed to be limited to a small amount of contact with people in a care home (I've seen conference papers and help articles by these sort of people who've seen one aspie and think that's enough to pose as an authority on it).

I contacted NAS in some alarm as to what on earth this was doing in help information for the public, and they responded saying they were puzzled and hadn't known it was in the pack.

I'm afraid that's been my experience ever since. They do try to help but there are these little glitches that make not the slightest sense, as if they are not monitoring what they put out. I've aired some concerns on other threads about their on line guides to aspects of autism. They just seem to need to do quality and consistency checks.
