The irish society of Autism

The irish soceity of Autism is the leading group that helps with Autism in Ireland. The lecture we had on the 25th of September. Mr Sexton came in and spoke very well on the topic that was Autism he is involved in autism because his son John Sexton has Autism . Johns son had Autism since the day he was born. John hasnt spoken in twenty years aloud. Mr Sexton decided to take decisive action in his sons life when he retired from teaching in an all girls secondary school there are different types of Autism the kids who dont speak , the kids that never shut up than therwe are children with ADHD. One in every 100 has Autism in 2012 while in 1980s it was one to every 500 had it this shows an increase over time..The society is working well with children who suffer from autism but like every charitey out there it struggles with the ratio of children to helpers which is why parents with autistic children have to play a big role in there son/daughters life
