man has a point
nooo, really? hahaha
She should't have apologized, she's FG for god's sake, just embrace it.
I suppose they're the fiscal conservative, socially liberal party these days so they don't like saying out loud what that actually means for anyone marginalized.This might work, people who work frontline with autism are in very precarious employment position at the moment and on low wages and have been trying to get press for this for years.

woah. I was wondering why everyone was lighting their torches and sharpening the pitchforks. Equating 'nutters' woth autism is way over the line.
Like it or not a common (well mine anyway) layman's understanding of autism is "something about not processing "feelings" like the rest of which can make someone appear aloof or awkward". Ok, this is is too crude a definition for a very complex condition but let's not go nuts
oops.
SureLeo is just an arsehole though and socially awkward.
I appreciate that there is a commonly held understanding of what people with autism are like, even "high functioning" ones but it doesn't necessarily hold when you actually meet people who have autism. Noone's comments were really really shitty.
I've seen some suggest that it's a distraction tactic but I can hardly see FG going to her, "hey Catherine, because of your work on the 8th you might get a few votes from people who might not necessarily like us, why don't you piss all that goodwill away for us so people have to stand up for Leo"
As someone who has a close relative on the autism spectrum this kind of casualisation of what is an amazing spectrum of attributes has me climbing out of my skin with rage at the sheer 'shir fuck it, its just some word I use to fuck people over' attitude on display here. Also as a potential guardian of same thinking someone so vapid is in any decision making position makes the future creak like a ship in ice.Fuck these pricks.
I hope you understand that I do agree with you; my point is she's in Fine Gael, why on earth would you be expecting compassion or understanding or even basic curiosity about the world from the free enterprise party?
Minister for Health Simon Harris has said his brother Adam’s autism led him to a political career.
“It simply would not have happened otherwise,’’ he said.
He said he was motivated by the absence of awareness and knowledge of autism and the fact that he had to campaign on issues like the provision of special needs classes.
I do. Hoover:
Simon Harris made his career in that world and is now minister for health.
Brotherâs autism led to Minister for Healthâs political career
