Mother's Day - Announcing the launch of our Family Album Area

This Mother's Day, we are celebrating the launch of our family album and featuring a collection of thoughts, feelings and experiences written by mothers and grandmothers from the Autism Ontario family. We learn from the images and words in this scrapbook about the courage, the eloquence, the hope, the strength, the imagination, and the resourcefulness of so many different families living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Bernice Abbott, a photographer and poet once said "photography helps people to see" and in keeping with Autism Ontario's role as one of the largest collective voices representing the autism community, the family scrapbook invites individuals, family and friends touched by ASD to share their inspirational stories of hope and courage through photographs, video and art. Just as photography helps us to see, stories help us to understand. Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers and grandmothers who tirelessly advocate for their children, and grand-children, living with ASD, while loving so deeply.

En ce jour de la Fête des mères, nous soulignons le lancement de notre album de famille, qui met en vedette tout un bouquet de pensées, de sentiments et d’expériences que nous ont confiés, par écrit, des mamans et des grands-mamans proches d’Autisme Ontario. Les images et les mots de cet album nous invitent à découvrir l’univers du courage, de l’éloquence, de l’espoir, de la force, de l’imagination et de la richesse humaine de très nombreuses familles touchées par un trouble du spectre de l’autisme (TSA). Bernice Abbott, photographe et poète, disait que « la photographie aide les gens à voir ». Inspiré en partie de cette réflexion, et conformément au rôle de premier plan qu’entend jouer Autisme Ontario – soit celui d’être l’une des plus grandes voix collectives représentant la communauté autiste – l’album de famille se veut une invitation aux personnes touchées par un TSA, à leurs familles et à leurs amis à partager leurs histoires d’espoir et de courage en y joignant des photos, des vidéos et des œuvres d’art. Comme la photographie nous aide à voir, les récits nous aident à comprendre. Joyeuse Fête des mères à toutes les mamans et grands-mamans qui revendiquent sans relâche des soins et des services pour leurs enfants et petits-enfants qui vivent avec un TSA, tout en les aimant si profondément. Veuillez suivre le lien ci-dessous pour feuilleter notre album de famille!
