Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)

3:20 am

Dr. Louise Higgins:

Put me on the spot. That is fine. I will go with meaningful consultation. The biggest concern is about replicating mistakes of the past with the PTA, so meaningful consultation with front-line clinicians and professional bodies is important. Key to that is having the autistic community's voice at the centre.
