I am calling on the Minister for Disabilities Anne Rabbitte TD to end the unfair treatment of special needs teenagers who are forced to transition from their much-needed Domiciliary Care Allowance to Disability Allowance whilst still in education. This is both unfair and discriminatory. I would value your help in raising this matter in the Dáil Éireann. Please sign my petition here
Just a Father trying to do the best for his kids and sharing what he has learned
Welcome to Autism Dad a blog and resource page for Mums and Dads with kids on the Autism spectrum.
My name is John Joe McGinley and I am the father of 4 beautiful boys, two of whom are on the Autism spectrum. I would like to share with you what myself and my wife have experienced over 13 years dealing with the ups and downs, the joys and frustrations of helping our boys develop and grow.
This website has my blog where I will try and share anything I feel could benefit other parents.
It also links to other websites and videos I have found interesting as we raise our boys.
I hope you find this useful and if so:
