Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to send along some kudos to Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Chartered Accountants (Vancouver) who last weekend donated all proceeds from their annual charity golf tournament to the Autism Education Society.

September is our son's birthday. We annually hold a swim event at the local aquatic centre and invite all of the children from his class as well as siblings and our other son's friends to Alex's birthday event. In lieu of gifts, we take donations to AES. It is a great event. The added bonus is the awareness of autism and the support our child receives at both school and in the community.

We are very happy to have supported AES through both the birthday and the golf tournament this year.

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to add a big THANK YOU to FEAT for organizing yet another training session for our families on October 6. Our team is really looking forward to this presentation and the "new" topics we will discuss in the break out sessions. We, in particular, we focus on the two sessions entitled "Progression of Peer Play and the Integration into a Social Skills Group" and "Social Skills in a natural environment". Our new team members will profit by the "Pre-teaching for the Youngest Children" to get them up to speed on beginning to work with our kids and I'm really looking forward to the session on "Team Management and Training". We really look forward to time with others who face the same challenges as we do – to know we are not in this alone and to get that boost we all need from time to time that says "We can do this!" See you there!

Hi everyone, As you all know there is an upcoming workshop at Simon Fraser University. If you would like to contact your schools and let them know about this event. I have appended the information with this post. I would also be a great idea to inform others in the community by faxing the registration information to your community newspaper.

Thanx

Dave, See you all at the conference

hi,
my wife Amanda and myself along with our two young boys, are in the early stages of emmigrating to Canada. Our eldest son Thomas, who is 7, is mildly autistic. (His brother Jamie,4,is not).We are both 30 years of age and are looking for people to correspond with via e-mail. It will be a daunting yet exciting time for us when we leave the UK, so if anyone would like to setup correspondence with us, to answer any of our concerns, particularly regarding Thomas' education and therapy, or just questions on life in general in your country, we would be most grateful. Even if you know someone else who would like an English pen-pal. We are looking to settle in BC although not sure which area yet, this will depend on what is best for Thomas and also employment.(I am a Precision Engineer).
So if you can spare a few minutes every couple of weeks or so, we would be delighted to become your friends.Our e-mail address is: s.hinks@ntlworld.com
Many thanks

Stephen and Amanda
