As many as 90% of autistic people believe the Irish public does not understand enough about autism, research suggests.
The finding is included in this year’s annual ‘Same Chance’ report from national charity AsIAm, published this morning.
Two separate surveys which took place in March collected data from 1,600 autistic people, parents, family members, and carers.
Most responses came in from children (70%) while autistic adults, aged over 18, represented 30% of the study.
