We of the Sean Healy Slua are disgusted to hear that the board of the Youth Resource Centre in Finglas has threatened to shut down a social club which was set up within the centre for young people with Aspengers. Young people with Aspergers Syndrome find it very hard to socialize and meet new friends. This club does a great job at getting young people with this condition together to socialize and make new friends. Some parents of the youth who attend the club said that if the club is shut down it will be enormously distressing for their children. Pauline Kavanagh whose son Daniel is a member of the club said to the Evening Herald Daniel had no friends growing up. People with his condition find it very hard to be sociable. If you saw the Rain Man movie, he has a mild version of that condition. Daniel needs routine in his life and hes been very distressed by talks of closure. There will be a massive gap in his life if they close the club This social club in the Youth Centre is more important than any other club, course or whatever else goes on in the youth centre. These young people, our brothers and sisters, need love and friendship and this place gives them that. We of the Sean Healy Slua demand that the social club continues to run as it was!!
