What kind of research do you support?

While we believe genetic predispositions and susceptibilities play a role in the development of autism, the National Autism Association feels that environmental interactions play a more significant role; therefore, our organization supports research that studies environmental triggers responsible for creating the tipping point in genetically susceptible children, as well as promising treatment options and issues relating to safety.

Will you promote my product?

NAA-NT typically does not promote or endorse products that are unapproved by the board of directors. NAA-NT does not promote any vendor for safety-related products in exchange for a commission.

 What is NAA’s position on vaccinations?

NAA believes that every parent has the right to research and educate themselves about all medical products, including vaccinations. Informed consent is critical, and each parent should have the freedom and information to make the best decision for their child. NAA cannot make this decision for any parent, but we are happy to provide sources of information to anyone in need. We recommend visiting http://nvic.org.
