A Cork bar/restaurant has launched autism-friendly days and special menus following a collaboration between itself and a COPE Foundation jobs coach.

District 11 in Glanmire is designating part of its restaurant on all Tuesdays to families of autistic children. There will be no music or television on and it is also in the process of creating a sensory garden outside for them.
