The N.A.S You Need To Know Campaign

THE FACTS (extract from N.A.S website 'The Facts')

Over 70% of children with autism also have a mental health problem. It doesn’t have to be like this. Children with autism can have good mental health just as anyone else can, and this campaign aims to make this a reality.

We all need to know that by giving children with autism the understanding and support they need, we help promote their health and happiness.

The Government needs to know that the mental health system is failing children with autism and that by acting now we can change our children’s future.

Mental health practitioners need to know how to help and support children with autism and mental health problems.

Families need to know that they are not alone – that we are here to help them every step of the way.
