#WorldAutismMonth and in light of today's disclosures on the lack of Speech and Language #SLT services in Ireland I'm resharing this thread about our experiences accessing health services for our children #CareCantWait #SameChance #Autism #CDNT #HSE #DisabilityRights #Carers

1. I posted this a few weeks ago and was overwhelmed by the response. It was a very special moment ❤️ But there are many difficult moments. Today on #WorldAutismDay I want to highlight the lack of public services for children with disabilities in Ireland #DisabilityRights #Autism

5. Children with disabilities have no voices and no vote. Most families like ours are so worn out from providing daily care and beaten down by the system that we have no time or energy left to advocate for change. So we are invisible... #DisabilityRights #CareCantWait #SameChance

Thrilled to be named the next Champion within D.10AFT! Squibbles and the team have loved running weekly sensory hours, adding neurodivergent activities, and seeing the difference it makes for so many children.

Great to be at @RCSI_Irl on World Autism Day with Michael Carrigy TD, Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Autism.
Working with @AsIAmIreland on legislation and education over 1,000 staff trained. Now 4 more gov departments & agencies are following suit. #samechance

Always brilliant to meet with @AsIAmIreland about their phenomenal work and the important changes needed in Irish society
They found 90% of autistic people did not feel they had the #SameChance in society as non autistic people this has to change

It was truly one of the greatest privileges of my life as an advocate, to present the Sparkle for Autism ‘Change Maker’ Award to the extraordinary @adampfharris. His unwavering dedication for every autistic person to have the #samechance in life is nothing short of inspiring

So proud of our leaders and so grateful for @Niamh_Mell leadership. As the team made clear this morning, they are going nowhere and I have no doubt their leadership into the future will achieve the #SameChance we seek for our community
