Both enniscorthy and wexford town have primary schools with autistic unit attached but think there is a waiting list for them I know there is a definite waiting list for the one win wexford town. Not too sure about secondary schools, my niece has autisim but she is only 5 so she just started school this year so I can't say about secondary schools
