A mother who has been forced to leave Ireland to access autism treatment for her children is calling on Irish people to come together and fight for better care.
Her nine-year-old daughter stayed in Ireland with her husband while she travelled to Brazil where the twins, Leonardo and Victoria, were seen immediately.this morning, she said she first contacted doctors with concerns about her children’s development in August 2020. “When your child has symptoms of autism, you have to act now; get treatment now because delays are not just going to disappear, no, delays are going to get worse and worse.”She said she was originally offered an online meeting before getting a letter saying she would have to wait for two or three years.
Jaqueline and her husband decided they would use their savings to access private care for the twins – but even then, the waiting list was at least six months.
NTBreakfast 'When your child has symptoms of autism, you have to act now; get treatment now because delays are not just going to disappear, no, delays are going to get worse and worse' This poor mother was given out of date and dangerous advice that was prevelent in the 1950s
NTBreakfast Well that was a bit of wasted trip and unnecessary stress. Pity no one explained to this misinformed, frightened mom that there is NOTHING wrong with her kids and there is ZERO need to 'treat' or 'fight' a made up medical diagnosis that pathologises us
