Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. ?ine Roddy:

I thank the Deputy for her question. She mentioned the national autism innovation strategy. Last summer there was a call for people with lived experience among those involved were autistic adults, cares and experts. I applied and was not invited to be involved. I was informed a draft would be made available publicly on which I could comment but that has not been made available yet and I do not know when it will be. I am waiting for an update on that.
