The National Autistic Society

About Me

The National Autistic Society is the UK's leading charity for people affected by autism. With your support we can make a positive difference to even more people living with autism: a serious, lifelong and disabling condition, which can have a profound - sometimes devastating - effect on individuals and families if they do not get the right support.

We're really excited about launching a profile on MySpace as part of our new campaign "think differently about autism".

The campaign's all about increasing understanding so that the half a million people in the UK who have autism, including Asperger Syndrome, and their families, get the services and support they need.

If you're affected by autism we want to hear your story. If you've never heard of autism, or don't know much about it, we want to give you the chance to find out more.

Check out our blog for updates about the campaign, and visit our brand new microsite: www.think-differently.org.uk to find out more.
