@HSELive Nearly 18 year old asd son with Id and can count on one hand the therapy sessions he’s had over last few years! And oh did i mention he’s completely non verbal:(

It's time for the @ncseirl to list schools who are refusing to open autism classes. @NewstalkFM @IPPN_Education @NABMSE @mmoynihantd @HMcEntee

[Lourdes @lourdessanvi]

Autistic children have no rights. No school places. No therapies. No support. Families are left fighting an unjust system, while children are denied their future. How much longer will they be ignored? When is this discrimination going to end?

[SpecialSchools&ClassesIrl @irl_open]

pressure for new Sen classes is a hangover from the lack of therapy support from @CcoHse @HSELive No early intervention leaves children unable for mainstream. What will future hold? Time to plan for drastically higher respite & residential support & put all therapists in schools

@RebeccaHegarty9 I sent emails to my local tds a few days ago and the one i was going to vote for sent my a long email and answered all my questions! This same person has helped my me out with my son in the past, but it really helped with my decision!

We stand with @campaign4carrig and call for compulsory school based summer programme in all special schools. The people are available to work the programme, now we need school principal to put it in place for 2024. https://t.co/ymJak8tAVR

“What we see here is a failure in terms of national planning.”

@AsIAmIreland's Adam Harris says that a crisis in disability services is down to a failure in planning which has led to “structural discrimination.”

@LeoVaradkar @AnneRabbitte how is acceptable to leave a young adult in limbo, when he is used to routine and structure, absolute disgrace 😡

My son is suffering!

[Dr. Lhara Mullins @LharaMullins]

My amazing #autistic 15yo wants to be a Garda. He's hoping to do his TY work placement at a Garda station in Galway city/county.

Any contacts who might be able to help? Even 1 day of shadowing would be amazing!

He really is a wonderful young man.

@irl_open @fussireland @RebeccaHegarty9 @LeoVaradkar @BernardGloster I spoke with several parents this week, they are suffering! But fionn has no outside stimulation or socialisation outside our family! We are feeling the home support loss greatly as that was what kept our heads above water!
