I see my son with Asperger’s and see potential

I have never written to a newspaper before but Mr Humphreys’ article on February 3 entitled ”Core connection” was so horrendously insulting and hurtful that I feel compelled to respond.

Judging by the reaction on Facebook following Irish Autism Action’s post on the article, it will certainly not be the only correspondence you receive on it.

The article is so insulting, ill-informed and unbalanced that I am surprised that you have published it. I believe there are other parents seeking legal advice on the article.
