What It Is: A UK campaign that declares, "Adults with autism need: a job when they can work, benefits when they can't, and a government that leads the way."
Who's In Charge: "The National Autistic Society (NAS) ... the UK's leading charity for people affected by autism. We were founded in 1962 by a group of parents who were passionate about ensuring a better future for their children. Today we have over 18,000 members, 80 branches and provide a range of services."
Why It's Worth Checking Out: The society's statistics on work for adults with autism -- only 15 percent working full-time, 79 percent of those on Incapacity Benefit wanting to work -- show that there's work to be done.
