 The National Autistic Society (Nas) has announced that it is to carry out the largest ever autism survey in an effort to gain a greater understanding about autistic adults' experiences in the UK. Nas is calling on all adults with the disability to take part and claims that the nation-wide survey will give individuals the chance to help shape its campaigns.Speaking to communitycare.co.uk, Nas policy and parliamentary officer for adults, Mia Rosenblatt, said: "Hearing the view of individuals with autism is vital in order for the Nas to gain an accurate picture of people's experiences, the services people have been able to access and any difficulties they have encountered."Anyone who is affected by autism is encouraged to take part in Nas' online survey by clicking on http://www.autism.org.uk/questionnaire.
