It really annoys me, my brother has CMT and there is a weekend expecally for him and he found his gf there who also has CMT.
I have High functioning Autisim and there is nothing for us, no weekend meetup that takes place every year. Wouldn't it be great if we could atcually have something like that, i might of met a girl if that had happened

Their purpose is to recruit health and social care staff on behalf of clients. Not sure if this includes the NHS or not.I admit being surprised by that at the time. There seemed to me to be a potential conflict of interest between a charity and a professional recruitment agency.Research Autism was a registered charity like NAS. Not sure if this is relevant to this thread but I offer the information anyway.

NAS is a charity charged with supporting those with autism. Some may question the appropriateness of it supporting a charity that conducts research into the causes of autism. Because such work is bound to study from pre-birth. Even if this doesn't include defacing aborted infants, you have to question what if science does find a cause? What if they find a way to diagnose us pre-birth? It would then just become another test promoted by the state. As a way to abort those of us less likely to become high earners. Parents often don't wish to invest resources in children they hadn't planned to exist. What when that includes us? Just as the down syndrome test is used to encourage parents to abort them. Research can be a bad thing & lead to killing us off before birth. I feel we should have a right to life.
