On this beautiful Sunday afternoon my time is spent on a pointless form filling exercise.

Wishing 1st-4th year secondary students the best of luck returning to school tomorrow after four months off. We hope they settle back well. Let's hope this never happens again @josephamadigan @NormaFoleyTD1 #AEN #backtoschool #ourchildrenmatter

6 weeks left before schools close in May for 3 months. Some teachers haven’t seen their students since before Christmas. Wow!

Happy World Autism Awareness Day. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜. This year let's do better for the Autistic Community. By providing better access to services. Education: More ASD classes, and that there enough supports in place for all children with additional educational needs.

There needs to be a move away from people just talking about Autism, into them actually taking positive action on how they can make their environments (school, workplaces) more accommodating for Autistic people. We need more understanding, acceptance and inclusion.

Taoiseach's refusal to answer questions on autism dossiers scandals 'extremely alarming' - @MaryLouMcDonald "Twice I asked the Taoiseach three straight forward questions. It is extremely alarming that he refused to answer a single one." sinnfein.ie/contents/60401

As a parent of a SEN child dealing with the state, the biggest surprise for me from #RTEInvestigates program is that @ncseirl aren't implicated. In our experience they are the biggest obstacle to the provision of an appropriate education. #rtept @conor_w_ryan @RTE_PrimeTime

Don’t think there’s a full understanding of how difficult it is if you’ve an autistic child in Ireland. No health service, no school places, no support but if you’re brave enough to take legal action we’re going to make you suffer #RTEInvestigates @roinnslainte @Education_Ire
