Dear Noddy,
Thank you for supporting our think differently about autism campaign. Together we will improve the lives of the 1 in 100 people in the UK with autism by creating a better understanding of autism in society.
Today we launched the final two parts of our campaign film which highlights some the challenges a person with autism can face everyday. Though the film only shows one of the many ways autism can affect an individual, it is a vital tool to help increase understanding of autism.
Let’s ensure as many people as possible see these films!
Please forward on this email to all your contacts asking them to watch all four parts of the campaign film and then forwarding them to their own contacts.
Visit: www.think-differently.org.uk/viewourfilm.
Together we can use the internet to help people think differently about autism!
On 5 February 2008 the next stage of the campaign will launch focusing specifically on the desperate lack of services and support available to adults with autism across the spectrum. We will be demanding the UK Government takes action to address this issue and will need your support to make this happen. We will be in touch in January 2008 to explain how you can get involved.
For more information about the campaign please email us at thinkdifferently@nas.org.uk or call and leave a message on 020 7923 5788.
Thank you for your ongoing support!

The majority of people just don't understand the needs of autistic adults and from what I see that's mainly through ignorance rather than malice. I shall do my best to spread the word.
