There is "widespread fatigue" among parents of autistic children, with a new report showing they do not feel they are getting adequate support, including from the HSE.

The report, published by autism charity AsIAm, is based on the responses of 454 parents to a questionnaire, reflecting disillusionment and despair at the often-lengthy wait faced by their children to get the supports they need.
