It was “deeply disappointing” and a “jaw-dropping surprise” to hear Kerry TD Danny Healy-Rae suggest that a lack of vitamins causes autism, an autistic advocate has said.
Concern has grown in the community since Mr Healy-Rae made the comments in the Dáil on Wednesday during a discussion on a Sinn Féin motion on special education.
Autism activist Aaron Lowry, who is autistic himself and has two autistic daughters, was stunned by the comments, and he joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this.
