Father of two autistic sons ‘is used to fighting’

A CORK father, who had to fundraise so his two autistic sons could access education, is running as an Independent candidate in Cork South Central.

Eric’s Isherwood’s two sons, Eric Junior and Colm, were diagnosed with autism when they were three years old. However, for the first nine years of their lives, they received no education.

It was only when Eric fundraised to send them to the US that they entered the world of learning.
