Yes, I am very good at confusing people. What can be done to improve the situation where parents do not necessarily buy in to the fact that someone may have autism? Whatever about how difficult it is to access services, what can people do when they are not getting familial buy-in? Obviously, we would like the school and whatever else to kick into action but there will be the issue of parental rights and certain difficulties. I would like Ms Dada to tell us about her own experience and what could have been done better in her life to facilitate her at an earlier stage.
