Irish TD Danny Healy-Rae has drawn widespread criticism for suggesting during a Dáil debate that autism might be linked to a lack of vitamins, a claim deemed unfounded and harmful by autism advocates, medical experts, and several politicians.
Sinn Féin and autism charity AsIAm condemned the remarks as misleading and damaging, emphasizing that autism is a neurodevelopmental condition not caused by nutrition.
