SFH on autism and constitutional development

Following is the transcript of remarks made by the Secretary for Food and Health, Dr Ko Wing-man, after attending a public function today (May 10):

Reporter: (Should somebody accompany the person with autism when he goes for police investigation?)

Secretary for Food and Health: As I have said, I think we know that persons with autism generally have problems with interpersonal communication. I think it is very difficult to comment on individual case.

Reporter: Would you try to communicate with the doctors' group to convince them?

Secretary for Food and Health: Since we all know that the Hong Kong Medical Association is going to conduct an opinion survey, as a member of the medical profession, I would encourage all doctors to express their views, whether it is for or against.

(Please also refer to the Chinese portion of the transcript.)
