Are you one of the many grandparents or extended family members who are struggling to understand the mystery of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?

Do you have so many questions but don’t want to burden your loved one for answers?

Do you want to help but are not sure how to find? 

You are not alone!

We have developed a social opportunity just for grandparents and extended family members. We generally meet September to June on the second Wednesday of each month from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the London Autism Ontario office to discuss, share, and socialize - unless we are going on a field trip.  

We have finalized the Fall 2009 schedule as follows:

Wed. Sept. 9 @ 6:45 p.m. (Note change of time & venue.)

A  tour of the Snoezlen Room  at Community Living London  25 Ford Crescent.

Ford Cres. is off Coombs Ave. - which is off Sarnia Rd. - just west of Western Rd. -- MAP

Tour begins at 7 p.m.

Wed. October 14  @ 6:30 p.m. at Autism Ontario - London Office, CPRI, 600 Sanatorium Rd., Unit 1.

Speaker:  Dr. Rob Nicolson, Department of Psychiatry, UWO – to speak on his latest research on autism. 

Wed. November 18th. @ 6:30 p.m. at Autism Ontario - London Office, CPRI, 600 Sanatorium Rd., Unit 1.  

Speaker:  Renee Ellis, Occupational Therapist with CPRI, who works with children with autism.

** There is no meeting in December. 

** RE Ride & Stride on Sept. 27 - We have formed a Grandparent Team for this event!
