It is not really about blame. Sometimes for people who are different in society we tend to blame ourselves. I support the call and I also support the parent groups. They are critical. They are accessed in areas for people of the Travelling community for people of colour, black and brown people as well.

About the swing, I am passionate about it. I have done research on it. My local authority in Ardara in County Donegal advised me that there is actually a swing in Dungloe and services in Dungloe which is 30 km away from Ardara. Would that benefit autistic children?
