Are autistic children being let down by the government?

We received an email from a parent who feels let down by our government, and getting her autistic child the help he needs.

Linda Whitmarsh joined Kieran today. She is the parent of two young children, and along with her husband Ronan, is the Chairperson for the Cavan-Monaghan Parents Committee for Children in Need of Disability Services.
