A number of restaurants in Co Tyrone have agreed to take part in a mum's 'bring your own food' scheme to help autistic children.
Máire Coyle has said she is thrilled that three restaurants in Dungannon have agreed to be part of a scheme that would allow the parents of autistic children to bring their own food for them when they are going out for a meal.
Her son Matty is autistic and part of his profile means he has a restrictive diet, which can make it hard for her family to go out for a meal together as they don't know whether or not he would eat the food that is on the menu.
