Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Noeleen Smith:

I have to bang on and keep saying that early intervention is key. That is what we want. We should not have to wait years and years to get our kids diagnosed, and then have to wait years and years for therapy. We need it done straight away and we need the therapy straight away. That is the golden wish. Early intervention is key.
