Where are Mom and Dad?
~ 2 minute read March 24th was our son’s 27th birthday. We ventured to Matthew’s home with a birthday cake his sister baked, and while there were not yet official isolation rules in place, we kept a respectable distance from the personal support workers and staff at his group home. Little did we know that it would be weeks, possibly months, before we would be able to kiss him, hug him, or have our Friday ‘date night’ at Swiss Chalet again. Our son has autism. He is non-verbal and requires 24/7 care. Matthew requires considerable supports but has an incredible ‘filing cabinet’ memory – he knows

Où sont passés maman et papa?
2 minutes de lecture Le 24 mars dernier, notre fils fêtait son 27e anniversaire. Nous nous sommes rendus au foyer de groupe de Matthew avec un gâteau confectionné par sa sœur, et bien qu’il n’y avait pas encore de règles officielles en place concernant l’isolement, nous avions gardé une distance respectable des travailleurs de soutien et du personnel du foyer de groupe. Nous ne savions pas que des semaines, possiblement des mois, passeraient avant que nous puissions l’embrasser, le serrer dans nos bras ou souper en tête à tête avec lui au Swiss Chalet les vendredis soirs. Notre fils est

Local Advocacy Works!
3 minute read - In 2019, our son Ben was diagnosed with autism. At that time Ben was three-and-a-half years old, non-verbal, a flight risk, and unaware of danger. We live in a quaint, quiet area, but there were many times where motorists would speed down our street. This made it incredibly dangerous for Ben who would easily wander off into the street. Knowing this, I had to try and make a change. Signage! We needed signage on our street that would tell drivers to slow down because there were autistic children in the neighborhood. So, I went on Amazon and purchased metal signs, one for each end

La revendication locale fonctionne!

En 2019, notre fils Ben a reçu un diagnostic d’autisme. À cette époque, Ben avait trois ans et demi, ne parlait pas, risquait de prendre la fuite et n’était pas conscient du danger. Nous vivons dans un quartier pittoresque et tranquille, mais il est arrivé à plusieurs reprises que des automobilistes passent dans notre rue à toute vitesse. Cela rendait l’endroit incroyablement dangereux pour Ben qui pouvait facilement s’égarer dans la rue. Sachant cela, je devais essayer de changer les choses. La signalisation! Nous avions besoin de signalisation dans notre rue pour dire aux conducteurs de

Wyatt and His Steer, Rufus Give Back to Autism Ontario!

1 minute read - Our son Wyatt has always had an interest in helping us in the barn. So when this past summer some very special friends of Wyatt’s, Rob Hasson and Karen McMaster suggested Wyatt show a steer this fall at our Premier Fallsview Junior Jackpot show, it didn’t a lot of persuading too get Wyatt on board! With the help of many people, Wyatt worked hard on his steer Rufus washing and brushing him twice a day.  As the show approached, we were talking to Wyatt about what he wanted to do with the money he would receive from the sale of Rufus. Wyatt didn’t hesitate for a minute. He thought

How People with Autism Fake It

Where are all the adult autistics?’ they ask. I’ll tell you where: hiding in plain sight. I feel like a fraud whenever I discuss my Asperger’s because here I am, this put-together, functioning, articulate woman who expects people to believe her when she says she’s autistic. “You don’t look autistic,” they tell me brightly, half compliment, half reassurance. But really… how could they possibly know? They don’t see my brain seize up and shut down when I drive a route I haven’t taken before, even if I’ve been driven there a hundred times by someone else. They’re unaware I work so hard to suppress

Le Fonds de la famille Ritchie – un legs durable à Autisme Ontario

Dès les années 1970, à l’époque où Autisme Ontario s’appelait l’Ontario Society for Autistic Children (fondée en 1973), Eleanor et Jim Ritchie nous apportaient un solide soutien. Ils ont eu quatre enfants, soit Elizabeth, Charlie, David et Paul, ce dernier étant autiste. Bien des années avant qu’Autisme Ontario n’offre aux familles le vaste éventail d’activités, de services et de soutiens dont elles peuvent aujourd’hui profiter, notre organisation issue de la base constituait une source de camaraderie et un lieu de socialisation et de rencontre avec d’autres familles qui « comprennaient ce que

Les cerceaux de l’espoir LA DANSE TRADITIONNELLE AUTOCHTONE POUR SENSIBILISER LES GENS À L’AUTISME

Aujourd’hui, cet adolescent autochtone de 15 ans prend la parole au Canada et aux États-Unis pour conscientiser les foules au sujet de l’autisme et souligner le manque de soutien apporté dans les réserves aux enfants à besoins particuliers et à leurs familles.

Jordan’s Principle: Why it Matters for Aboriginal Children with Autism and their Families

Jordan River Anderson, from Norway House Cree Nation in northern Manitoba, was born with complex medical needs. Due to his diagnosis, he spent most of his life in a Winnipeg hospital. Once he was cleared to return home to receive home care, it became unclear who was responsible for providing it: the federal government due to his Indigenous Status, or the provincial government, which was mandated by the BNA Act to provide health care for all citizens. The federal and provincial government could not come to an agreement over who was responsible for his in-home medical expenses, and Jordan never

The Ritchie Family Fund – leaving a lasting gift to Autism Ontario

Eleanor and Jim Ritchie were long-time supporters of Autism Ontario, back as early as the 1970s, when Autism Ontario, founded in 1973, was called the Ontario Society for Autistic Children. They had four children – Elizabeth, Charlie, David and Paul, who was autistic. Years before Autism Ontario was offering the broad set of family events, services and supports as they do today, the grassroots organization was for many families a source of companionship, socializing and being with others who ‘understood what it was like for a family.’ That need for belonging and community still exists today

Donner du pouvoir aux familles : le « modèle d’approche par étapes » pour des revendications efficaces

Les familles d’enfants, d’adolescents et d’adultes ayant un trouble du spectre de l’autisme (TSA), ou autres troubles connexes, ne disposent pas toujours des habiletés et de la confiance nécessaires pour soulever leurs préoccupations avec aisance et de manière constructive auprès des systèmes de services sociaux. Néanmoins, les familles ont parfois plus de poids politique qu’elles n’en sont conscientes lorsque vient le temps d’apporter des changements dans les systèmes d’éducation, de développement, de santé et de services sociaux (Schields, 1987). Quand elles soulèvent des inquiétudes, les

All about my Autism
I would like to explain how my Autism affects me and things I wish people knew. I am Autistic, but that is just a part of me. My autism makes going to loud places and having bright lights very very difficult for me. It really hurts my ears and eyes. It makes me very uncomfortable. This is why I wear noise cancelling headphones to help block out the loud noises. Flashing or bright lights makes my head feel really weird... I try to go to places that don’t have flashing lights. I do not understand facial expressions, social ques and body language, and that makes people upset because I don’t know

Genetics and Autism - Breakthrough in Novel Genetic Contribution to Autism
~ 3 minute read Last July, a research team from The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), led by Dr. Ryan Yuen, announced it had discovered “wrinkles” in DNA that could provide a genetic cause for autism. Researchers believe this could represent a novel mechanism underlying the contribution to autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders. In October, Autism Ontario invited Dr. Yuen and his colleagues, Dr. Stephen Scherer, the study’s co-author and Director of The Centre for Applied Genomics (TCAG) at SickKids, Dr. Evdokia Anagnostou MD, senior clinician scientist at Holland Bloorview Kids

Top Ten Things You Should Know About Learning to Print
~ 5 minute read 1. Pre-printing strokes l − ○ + / □ \ × Δ Prior to printing letters, children should know how to draw these shapes. Typically, around two years of age, children will develop the vertical line. By six years of age, most children are able to draw all of the shapes. Usually, it is not until a child can consistently copy a triangle that they will have success with learning to print all of their letters. Practice these strokes with your child to develop a stronger foundation for letter formations! 2. Trunk strength and shoulder stability In order to develop the finer movements our

Transitioning to Employment
~ 3 minute read Updated from an article originally published in 2015 Honest, loyal, highly focused, creative, logical, and attentive to detail are some of the common traits associated with people with autism. Would you want to hire someone with these traits? How about someone who has better attendance and retention rate than their average colleague? Your answer is probably yes to these questions; however, 86% of adults with autism are unemployed or under-employed in Ontario. The majority of adults (58%) rely on Ontario Disability Income Supports as their primary source of income. Transition
