Nine in 10 people with autism say public does not understand  disability

Two separate surveys that took place in March collected data from 1,600 autistic people, parents, family members, and carers.

As many as 90% of autistic people believe the Irish public does not understand enough about autism, research suggests.

The finding is included in this year’s annual ‘Same Chance’ report from national charity AsIAm, published this morning.
