AsIAm Launches 2025 Report Revealing Deep Inequalities for Autistic People in Ireland
Public attitudes and a lack of support means Autistic people experience discrimination and exclusion across Irish society.
Marking World Autism Awareness Day, AsIAm – Ireland’s Autism Charity – has launched its Same Chance Report 2025, revealing a concerning regression in access to vital supports and services for individuals and families. This annual report captures the experiences of over 1,400 Autistic people and their families, revealing ongoing exclusion and systemic failures across education, healthcare, and community life.
86% of respondents say they still do not have the same chance as non-Autistic people in Irish society – citing long waiting lists, discrimination, lack of support, and financial pressure as key barriers.
