UCC should recognise that autism is a condition and not a disease

I have Asperger’s Syndrome and two of my five wonderful children are also on the autism spectrum.

I am a past student of University College Cork (UCC) and received a certificate in autism studies last October.

I set up the advocacy group, Autistic Rights Together (ART), to give people a voice and to create a platform that would include autistic people in all aspects of their lives, including in education, employment, services, supports and research.
