Lady Chatterton

Dear God, I wish there was a little less misery on our chat shows, especially after all the sadness in the news this week

Un Croissant

That was shocking, the poor man.

cofy

God that must have been a terrible shocking thing to discover.

BorneTobyWilde

Sad story. He finds it really hard to talk about.

Un Croissant

Emphesius?

Atlantic Dawn

Your health is your wealth.

Go Harvey Go

No disrespect whatsoever... but why was he booked for the SNS and not the LLS?

Could be Marian Finucane :pac:

Autism seems so common these days........is it something in what we eat or breathe or what? Or was it just undiagnosed years ago?

Marian Finucane is going to cough her lungs up one of these days....she's unsreal ! :rolleyes:

Un Croissant

I'd believe it. The speech is fairly obvious.

Welsh Megaman

I think Brendan did a good job sitting in for John Murray this week.

Ol' Donie

I really like this guy now.

I think it's a case of better diagnostics, most cases of autism have a genetic component. The spectrum is a very broad one, from severe to high functioning/Aspergers Syndrome.

Tigger99

I often wonder about autism, is it something that can be "lessened" with treatment?

Anyway the man is obviously feeling quite awkward.

Oh god awkward re the Ministers!

May not have been understood back in the day. It would be interesting to see what % of people in the third world have it to see if it's caused by environmental exposure or lifestyle.

What the f*ck just happened there?

Un Croissant

Ah Ffs Brendan. Really put him off.

exactly I came on to comment about it as well?

Black Menorca

Why did Brendan stop him there?

jos28

From what I've read/heard about Autism, early diagnosis and intervention is crucial in allowing the child to reach their full potential

eternal

I definitely cooked for this guy.

Un Croissant

Insinuating that many of our ministers are autistic, basically.

Poochie05

What the hell? He was really warming up there and Brendan broke the flow!

kupus

HE was having dinner with enda kenny and brendan cut him off, was that it?

Harry Angstrom

Why did Brendan stop him there?? He's got nothing to lose. Ray Arsey can pick up the slack for it.

Balmed Out

So as not to be sued

random10

I really want to know what he was going to say about the ministers

Looked like a member of a large political party in the country has an autistic kid and Brendan didn't want him to name who it was which is fair enough.

small town girl

I think Brendan was afraid of another lawsuit, he thought Sean was going to diagnose some TDs as autistic from what I gathered

kupus

surprised that brendan cut him off. He hates fine gael.

Early intervention/ regular access to therapies (speech and language, occupational therapy, play therapy) and appropriate educational services can yield great results when it comes to most disabilities.

I thought he was going the genetic route. Many have autistic kids, therefore....

It's interesting to note that there is a link between older fathers and children born with Autism (as well as ADHD and Bipolar disorder). He would have been in his early 40's when they had their son.

Go Harvey Go

That interview lasted nearly 20 minutes.

Just saying.

His wife more or less living in New Jersey as his son attends a World Class Autism school, himself and his young daughter live in Kinsale and she's in the national school there, after years of this he realises it's an awful set up so they are all heading back to the States in a few months.

Incredibly wealthy and successful but how many families would even contemplate such a fecked up arrangement?

Yes, but the child he was going to speak about might.

Balmed Out

I know James reily has an artistic child

corcaigh1

Speaking about government and told zip it..hmmm??

Welsh Megaman

Sean making a quick exit there

Atlantic Dawn

Those curtains would certainly fit as a cover for my car, could possibly do my neighbours car too.

James Reilly's son is autistic.
