Kids and independence - how young is too young?

With the backlash against TV presenter Kirstie Allsop for letting her 15-year-old son go interrailing, we ask the question, what age is too young to let your kids go?

Journalist Kathy Donaghey and psychotherapist Siobhan Murray discuss the backlash against tv presenter Kirstie Allsop on letting her 15 year old son go inter railing, the unknown freedom of the 1980s and the pre digital age.
And what is it like to get into the workplace as an Autistic person? We celebrate a decade of Specialisterne NI, a social enterprise that is part of the international Specialisterne network which works to support one million autistic people to start out on or develop careers.
David & Patrick, who have both used the service to get into the workforce, join Lynette along with Specialisterne NI MD, Sharon Didrichsen.
All that plus many TOP TUNES to get your Tuesday afternoon up and at 'em!
