Dr. Rosaleen McDonagh:

I will not talk about everything but just on the protocol and how important it is. Again, it links back to the right to self-determination and that is for all autistic and disabled people to say: this is who I am; this is how I live in the world. We need to adapt around that.

Second, I imagine the protocol would help speed up the process of assessment and diagnosis and there would be a human rights-based model. The key phrase is rights-based and that it is not benevolence or an ableist lens but a rights-based model. I will leave the other questions to Ms Gibney and Dr. Conaty. I will leave them the hard ones.
