Yes, and you may be economically disadvantaged if you are from a poor community. With the additional barrier of being poor, how do you meet the needs of your child who is autistic while also meeting the needs of your family? This is an area of interest.

There is a homeless service for pregnant women. I cannot think of its name but I did some work for it before Christmas. The service is conducting a pilot project at an economic level on the development of children. Its work is absolutely fascinating. I could do some work on it with Inclusion Ireland. I suggest that a pilot programme or a study be done on how children from poorer communities can be successful.
