Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Debbie Carr:

Yes, a lot more information needs to be put out there about autism in the public, not just for the businesses. As a parent of a child with level 3 autism, it means there is screaming from him and even some of my friends make comments to the effect that there are too many kids who are autistic now and they simply call it bad parenting.. I look at them, while asking are they really making that statement to me.
