Hi there (this is a repost since I forgot to include my email address),

I attended David Taylor's "Taxes and Autism" presentation tonight. I can highly recommend it, the info was invaluable.

But, I had a question that David couldn't answer. I am about to apply for the Disability Certificate for my son. My ex-husband and I are separated and we have 50-50 custody of our son. We are working amicably together to help him. My marital status is now "separated" and he is "common-law" with his new partner. So:

a) which one of us should apply for the certificate? Does it matter?

b) assuming we get the certificate, who should claim the deductions/credits for our son going forward?

My email address is mlbiggsi@gmail.com. Thanks so much!

Hi there,

My son was recently diagnosed with PDD NOS and I'm looking for a support group. I don't drive and am very limited for time, so would need it to be close to home: either close to downtown Vancouver or North or West Vancouver.

I've looked on the lists online (ACT, etc.), but still have not found one in my area.

Or if anyone wants to grab a coffee and listen/talk, trade stories & info, that works too.

We found out just before Christmas and since then I've only confided in my closest friends/family. They're very supportive, but somehow, I feel like I haven't told anyone.. I'm going crazy and need someone to talk to who can relate.

Thanks so much

Hi there,

I was referred here by the "Autism Funding in BC" website. Not sure if I'm posting in the right section, but I'm looking for a recommendation of an advocate/practitioner who his used to filling out the T2201. Our referring doctor was worried she might not fill it in correctly and therefore delay the process, or worse, cause our application to be rejected.

Thanks so much,

Melissa
