Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Debbie Carr:

As I think there are more people with autism, I think more people are touched by autism, which gives them no choice but to have some knowledge about it. Despite that knowledge, I believe a lot of people still think it is poorly behaved people or that parents are blaming the autism. I do not let my son away with anything. He has to follow rules and I agree with that but if he acts out, people are terrified and they have to be reminded that he has autism.
