Autistic Spectrum Condition information

The National Autistic Society
The National Autistic Society (NAS) provides information and advice for autistic people, their friends and families. It also offers support for professionals and employers through training courses, conferences, consultancy and an accreditation programme to help them develop the knowledge they need to work with, and support autistic people. NAS also campaigns for rights and interests of autistic people and their families to try to ensure that national policy and legislation reflects their needs.

 The Autism Alert Card is available to people with a diagnosis of autism. It is a very useful card if you find yourself in a difficult situation and need to alert someone, including the emergency services, that they may need to change their approach to you. Some people find that just carrying it in their purse or wallet gives them more confidence when using public transport, going to new places etc even if they seldom use it.
