How is the national autistic society important?

Answer 1

It's not a question of importance - it's a question of how important it is to know about it. I was born with Asperger's Syndrome and I wasn't diagnosed until 2000. My entire life was "messed up" but after being diagnosed, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders and I did extensive research to help myself. I also take medications for depression and anxiety and get counseling.

Answer 2

There are many answers for this question. One is that studies on autism have led us to new findings about the brain, and how to provide help to people on the spectrum and their families. But more than that, autism is important because it creates a diversity among people. Although people with autism are impaired in some aspects, they are also extremely intelligent and capable of extraordinary things, such hyperlexia (reading before anyone has even taught them and often at a very young age) and extreme memory recall. Many people on the spectrum have gone on to be successful.

Autism Speaks is an organization devoted to discovering more about autism, and their website is a good place for accurate information. Please see the related link below.

Answer 3

The National Autistic Society is important because they run campaigns to help support autistic people and bring about social change in the UK to help support autistic people. One big achivement is that they brought into being the Autism Act which is the first law addressing a specific disability.

Answer 4

Autism is considered by some people to possibly be the next step in human evolution. Nature may be trying out something new, like when the first dinosaurs grew feathers on their arms and tried flying- it seemed stupid at first, but look at birds today. They are masters of the skies. If autism is indeed the next step in evolution for humanity, we could wind up with more sophisticated brains.
