Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy and Employment: Discussion
Micheál Carrigy (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
People need to communicate in the workplace and it is a form of communicating. It is something that needs to be taken on board. As I said, we had an example at our previous meeting, where a young lad had been nominated for the An Post book of the year award and had a book published from that. It is a societal thing that people are not aware of it enough and it is something we wanted to highlight today at our earlier meeting. It is something the witnesses could take on board, look at and support. We also need our educational system to look at this and take it on board further because it needs to be moved on. Naturally, when someone moves from the educational system into the workforce, that method of communicating is also needed in the workforce. I ask that the witnesses would take that on board.
