I do a lot of work in the area of autism. I have an autistic son and have been involved in all the promotional campaigns. It is about society in general having a better understanding of people with a different ability, whatever that may be. We need to roll that out on a national level. We have done a project in here. We have started retraining people in autism awareness within the Parliament and a number of Departments are taking on the model that started here. That needs to be broadened out across the whole disability sector, all Government agencies and society so we have a better understanding.
