Gavan Reilly has taken to social media to thank listeners for the kind words they shared in response to his radio segment that discussed the barriers children diagnosed with autism face.
The Newstalk radio host was showered in praise for the radio piece that looked at the challenges faced by children with autism and their parents. Reilly was presenting the segment on World Autism Awareness Day, which falls annually on April 2.
During the segment, the radio and TV presenter discussed the issues within the public system for those navigating an autism diagnosis, describing it as "a bit of a shambles".
