I am not known for my brevity. We are talking about full societal change across the board. As Deputy Tully said, it is about acceptance meeting inclusivity. What the centre has done is based on a brilliant idea and research meeting action, which means improvement in the lives of autistic people and their families and in wider society. I congratulate the witnesses on the work they have done. It would be excellent to go into a school and take a look. I am always afraid because sometimes, when digging into issues, we look at outlier schools, principals and teachers. We have to find a means by which we can achieve best practice across the board rather than running pilot programmes, as we have done an awful lot, particularly in this State.
