Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Amir Niazi:
It depends upon the diagnosis we are dealing with. If it is a diagnosis of depression, anxiety or psychosis, we are the people to deal with that. If it is about communication and behavioural issues, then the child's primary needs are met at the CDNT level in disability and if he or she develops any comorbid mental health issues we work with our colleagues there.
