The absence of formal data on the incidence of autism throughout the EU is about to be addressed. We have Roman records of Down Syndrome and medieval descrptions of cerebral palsy. Medical historians can find no trace of autism. |

Jump To Comment: 1Personally, I sustained a head injury, have an anxiety and am bipolar. Anything related to neurological interests me.
I listened to Mr. Tim Lynch, Neurologist at the Mater on the TV earlier tonight. Ireland is lacking in services for people with specific neurological needs and he said that an impetus similar to that behind Cancer is needed for Brain related matters. I am sure Beaumont and other hospitals who are short-staffed and crowded support this.
I highly endorse this. Every road accident we hear about the person who has died but now as medicine has advanced, more live, a multiple of those that die, and we need to remain alert to their quality of life and how improvements can be made by sharing experiences, information and knowledge.
From my 'foibles' above, I compounded my situation with all kinds of phobias and fears.......a person who had worked with Autistic children in the US had the foresight to give me a Jack Russell. Jack is with me over a year now and he is one of the greatest gifts and companions I have ever had. At times I feel he reads my insecurities and coaxes me ahead.
Again the news, the other day. I was thrilled to see the Initiative of the Guide Dog project for children who are autistic. I have agoraphobia, a fear of open spaces, so I had some empathy with the little girl being able to go to a supermarket with her guide dog and Mum.....Let's have more freedom for children and people who need exceptions made.
Ironically, I don't drink but I have been refused entry to two near empty pubs in Ballsbridge and Merrion. I explained that all I needed was a coffee and a rest. In both cases, and this took guts for me, I explained why......yet I was refused.
This ignorance must stop........
Well done Kathy Sinnott and others.
