    I think it's a case of better diagnostics, most cases of autism have a genetic component. The spectrum is a very broad one, from severe to high functioning/Aspergers Syndrome.

    I often wonder about autism, is it something that can be "lessened" with treatment?

    Anyway the man is obviously feeling quite awkward.

    Oh god awkward re the Ministers!

    May not have been understood back in the day. It would be interesting to see what % of people in the third world have it to see if it's caused by environmental exposure or lifestyle.

    From what I've read/heard about Autism, early diagnosis and intervention is crucial in allowing the child to reach their full potential

    Insinuating that many of our ministers are autistic, basically.

    Why did Brendan stop him there?? He's got nothing to lose. Ray Arsey can pick up the slack for it.

    Looked like a member of a large political party in the country has an autistic kid and Brendan didn't want him to name who it was which is fair enough.

    I think Brendan was afraid of another lawsuit, he thought Sean was going to diagnose some TDs as autistic from what I gathered

    Early intervention/ regular access to therapies (speech and language, occupational therapy, play therapy) and appropriate educational services can yield great results when it comes to most disabilities.

    I thought he was going the genetic route. Many have autistic kids, therefore....

    It's interesting to note that there is a link between older fathers and children born with Autism (as well as ADHD and Bipolar disorder). He would have been in his early 40's when they had their son.

    His wife more or less living in New Jersey as his son attends a World Class Autism school, himself and his young daughter live in Kinsale and she's in the national school there, after years of this he realises it's an awful set up so they are all heading back to the States in a few months.

    Incredibly wealthy and successful but how many families would even contemplate such a fecked up arrangement?

    Yes, but the child he was going to speak about might.

    Those curtains would certainly fit as a cover for my car, could possibly do my neighbours car too.
