When we were asked to reintroduce this Bill, the request came from the Irish Society for Autism and AsIAm. Amendments were done in conjunction with both of those stakeholders. We were being led by the representatives of the people in trying to improve the terminology in the Bill. We made amendments so that at least people could see this is not something of which we are possessive. This is a Bill we can all work on to make it better. The Senator is right. If this Bill gets to pass into legislation, we want it to be right for the people with autism who need it.
